First, it's a good idea to proofread what you typed. It's hard to read and respect an argument with inconsistencies and errors in it. Second, it's not a good idea to use loaded words and phrases. If you do, the person whose mind you are trying to change will likely close his/her mind to your way of thinking and retaliate in self-defense. Both sides will likely end up wasting their time and energy. Arguments fueled by anger also tend to be ineffective because they are written hastily and have pieces of logic missing from them. Other than that, I appreciate hearing everyone's different points of view. Post Reply
