If you express your viewpoint in a kind way, that’s genuinely the most “winning” you can possibly achieve.

Convincing people in one go is not achievable by just finding the right words.

People may disagree. They may downvote you to hell. They may thank you. They may agree. They may misunderstand.

But as long as you write kindly, people will read what you say and give it thought. Maybe it plants a seed for them to change their mind another time.
