Perhaps this seems asinine, but I ask sincerely.

Yes, it's communicating. It's making your intensions and feelings evident. This, however, does not give you the self-righteousness to insist that others believe or accept your point. Each person's feelings are valid.

Well, it's important to the extent that the point means something to the individual trying to prove that point. It verifies our confidence in our own thought processes and beliefs. But it is more for our egos that we seek this validation. So I guess the point relating to the point would have to do with self-confirmation or self-verification. Like I am here, hear me roar!

Depends upon the point that is trying to be proved and who is trying to prove the point. Is there a psychological, spiritual, or personal reason they are trying to prove the point? If so than yes there is a point.

I think , after years of working on making points and discovering that the point was lost or never fully understood, that no, there is no point really. It is probably correct to say that doing this activity is a waste of time.

It seems to me that trying to prove a point is like trying to prove the point -- to yourself.
I learn more about myself when debating some "truth" as I understood it keeping in mind that I might be wrong.

That all depends on whom you are trying to prove the point to. If it is someone with common sense, than maybe. If you're dealing with a blithering idiot, then it probably isn't worth your time.

this would be the forum that is attempting to do so. what that point is can not be found fortunately.
The point is to 'feel' right I would guess. That may give some 'selves' a sense of security that they have some grasp of what is going on around them.

There is always a point in trying to prove MY point against other people's point.
Then I wait for other people to prove THEIR point against mine; and if THEIR point is better than MY point then the point is that there is always a point in trying to prove a point.

it is the individual trying to express his opinion upon others in order to feel that he/she is valid and correct in his or her thoughts or ideas about a certain situation.
In short everybody wants to think they know what is right so in proving a point they are validated in their thinking.
