I`ve tried arguing with a fencepost, the problem with that is the fencepost doesn`t feel the need to be right, it just stands there looking at you like you are stupid and it will never walk away, nor will it admit defeat. It`s position on whatever subject you may be arguing never wavers.
Now, when I disagree with a fencepost, I just walk on by, you just can`t win.
You're thread is awesome and I know that it is hard for some people to do. I for one just don't like people fighting especially in the forums. Its my opinion that they should take it else such as into email. Or like in the outside world such as in my town (Dramaville here in Marshalltown trust me) with my friends if they come to me with something I always tell them "Well let's go get so and so that way you two can have it out but through talking not screaming or fighting and that way things get settled in a civilized manner and you know each others side and then you can talk out the best way to solve the problem together" But in some cases when there is no justification for the agrument I say to them just leave it alone. Also there is a time and place for everything so I think that if one doesn't have anything nice to say at that time they don't need to say it at all. Then again there are those people that won't let dead dogs lye after something happens and just want to keep raising the issue that need to just leave it to the main parties involved and that is just my two cents for what it is worth. Thank you and this is a great thread and lonelyinbc hope you will come back to my thread when I can get my brother up and running better. Dum laptops anyways.
Great pointers however, the one main point that you forgot to mention is; don't keep feelings, emotions, disagreements etc. bottled up inside you until you can't take it any more. That only makes communication with you impossible and painful when your "cork" finally blow's. Make an agreement with your close friends, loved ones, etc. right away that you will have an open relationship with them as long as they are open with you, and give eachother signals as to "when its time to talk" it has saved me more than once. It saves alot of hassle in the long run.
