I agree that arguements between a subjeactive realist and a realist is a waste of time. I am willing to disagree on the subject of convincing. Your point of view that you don't want to convince me of anything is incorrect because it contradicts the reason that you respond to me at any rate. If you were uninterested in convincing me, then you would blog once and walk away. Ultimately, by reading my blog, you gain in experience in that you gain insight as to what I think. That matters to you because you are curious as to what other people think. This gives you some reflection on whether your thoughts are real or not. If you prove me incorrect, then you prove yourself correct. The only way you can prove me incorrect is by not allowing me to prove you incorrect. Thus if I make you contradict yourself, you change the subject entirely and use another example to imply that you have not contradicted yourself. You will continue to do this change of the subject into infinity, thus I never prove you wrong.
