Arguing with Loki

It is often impossible to win an argument on the Internet. I propose that the reason for this is that both parties to an argument may be approaching from a position of defending each party's respective position, rather than approaching the issue from a position of growth. One common problem is inconsistent definition between the two parties. I have observed people using the same term, but with different definitions for that same term. Thus many valid points are otherwise lost in terminology. See here for this classic problem.
