I have a tendency to want to immediately reply, to put my 2 cents worth in (here and on other forums), wanting to have the last word, to be right. It's one of my character defects that I am really working hard on.

I totally agree!
You don't have to agree with everyone nor do you need to convert them to your way of thinking. Reminds me of the no cross talk rule in Al Anon.
That wanting to get the last word in and be right is also a character defect of mine that I know came from years of interacting with my AH. Still trying to "Stop that!"

Its like a buffet- no one is forcing you to eat what you don't like-just take what you like and leave the rest...it might be just what someone else was craving!
