I don't get into arguments with other people. Other people simply disagree vehemently with my opinions and place me on the defensive in order for me to stand by those opinions. In short, other people get into arguments with me.
@JCAlexandreWrites Often, I think I'm merely having an interesting debate, and I discover the other person is fighting with me, rather than arguing or debating the ideas. That can be frustrating.
My goal is to get closer to whatever the truth is. To a lot of other people, "being the ape who beat the other ape" is more important. If I find out I am wrong, I now have better information and am wiser, so I don't mind finding out I'm mistaken.
@JCAlexandreWrites *pantomime voice* Ohhhhh no they don't!
