I copied this from WritingExplained.org:
It is sometimes said that a person is convinced by an appeal to reason or logic and a person is persuaded by an appeal to feelings or emotions.
This is not necessarily true. Both convincing and persuading can be done through arguments and reason. As I said above, the key difference is between action and nonaction, not what is being appealed to.
But I do agree that "convincing" might be a better word choice seeing that it's not making the target do something, just changing their minds.

Maintenance will be performed on the forums for the next couple of days. Expect some downtime.
