I've been on bungie.net for almost four years now, and for a while, I thought it was just a black hole that sucked up free time and ruined my grades in school. Most of my time spent here was reading the Halo 3/Reach forums and getting involved in so many stupid arguments that got nowhere because no one would listen to appeals to logic.
I've realized now that bungie.net has helped me greatly. My argumentative skills are almost unmatched by any of my peers in school. I'm in an AP English class, and the whole rhetoric/underlying assumptions deal just comes naturally to me now. In essence, all these stupid arguments helped by making me learn how to argue a point against an opposing viewpoint with valid arguments that you have to break down to get anywhere (not everyone on bungie.net is illogical; just most of the people you argue with).
Basically, I'm saying that bungie.net has handed me a free A in AP English and the skills I've learned will most likely come in handy for the rest of my life.
Has anyone else had some sort of experience like this? Where bungie.net has had a serious effect on your life?
