Are you good at bickering? Or, at least pretty decent at getting your point across? I'm not so much talking about on line, but rather with someone you're dealing with. A boss. A customer. A friend?
Have you ever walked away from a heated discussion only to later prove to yourself you were wrong? Did you have the where-with-all to apologize to the person you offended?
Do you yell? Intimidate?
Are you good at serious arguing?
This really should be multiple choice. I don't like to argue, I will though if I have to. But I also know how to walk away even when I'm right. Some people are just too stupid to get it. And yes, I've lost an argument. And I am able to admit when I'm wrong. Unfortunately too many others can't. Like my Mother. The dumb conniving "I'm always right" bitch.
I don't mind 'arguing', as long as it doesn't get angry. I can argue without getting angry, but when the other person starts to get petty, no promises on my end.
I've 'walked away' from many arguments and I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong. As for actually changing someone's mind... people are usually too pig-headed to change their position, even when you present them with facts. It's something you have to learn to live with I guess.

Yes. I don't like arguments whether in a fight with someone or a friendly heated debate that don't stick to the topic at hand though. I tend to walk away from those after I've told them I refuse to continue if they can't argue sensibly. D's mom sounds like my mother.

Yes, and I've apologized for it, although these instances are rare.
Quote:Do you yell? Intimidate?
No, I enjoy a fair argument. My ex was a hot head, screamer, thrower of fits, narcissist etc.... he'd punch holes in walls, throw furniture and have a plain out and out tantrum to get his way. The more logical and right I was, the more irate he became. I rather enjoyed pushing his buttons but kept my mouth shut most times because the asshole would usually break my stuff. I've a box of awards and trophies he busted of mine that can't be replaced or repaired.
Quote:Are you good at serious arguing?
If I am interested in said argument and have knowledge of the facts, yes. Even if I don't have knowledge of the facts, I walk away either looking for more facts or learning things I didn't.
I'm a big fucking know-it-all
I won't stop till there is cold hard proof that I'm right or wrong.
I avoid arguments at all costs; I'm not talking about political disagreements here, that's hopefully just a discussion; but real, pissed-off arguing.
I apologize when I'm wrong and I usually walk away until I can cool off.

Our exes sound like twins separated at birth. Assholes.

I had one of those as well. I ended up with a dead cat when he moved out. :?
Your ex killed your cat??? Wow. That is fucked up.
I can top that Lumpy... my ex came and took all my horses while I was at my lawyers and sold them for meat.
My stallion, 4 mares and 2 yearlings, a 2 year old and 1 foal.
I hope he dies a slow painful death, which he will due to him now having hep C and emphysema.
eek Ant... you get tested for the hep?

He what?!?!?!? And he got away with that? Your exes make mine look almost nice.
I get tested yearly out of paranoia and I'm clean.
My ex got away with that because I have no physical proof that he did it other than he out and out told me. He has NO problems sending horses off to meat and knows one of the worst meat dealers in the country personally. Frank Carper - owner of Camelot sales and stables in NJ. Lovely name for a meat trader isn't it?
Couple years ago his son got ticketed for allowing a trailer load of horses to freeze to death on a winter run up to the slaughter houses in Canada.
I have no doubt that fat fuck did what he said he did. Oh and he also said it was a favor so I didn't have to get upset getting rid of them myself.
Lying fat fuck. He also forgot that I ran a horse rescue and had enough connections to find homes for them myself if I wanted or needed to, which I did not. I intended to keep them. Top it off, cocksuker told the court I sold them and was hiding marital money and he wanted some of it.

There was no record of what he did? That is beyond fucked up. But Karma's a bitch.
"Karma's a bitch."

NO, what part of he knows the worst meat trader in NJ personally did you not get? WHY would he keep a record of an illegal activity? Those horses were not marital property, they were mine. He stole them, he lied, he got away with all but me giving him money for them.
I've seen Frank Carper a couple times since and outright asked about them too and all that prick did was laugh.
Duchess should be able to attest what I say about Camelot stables - if not by her own knowledge her husband surely knows.

I am just shocked that a person can be that evil and get away with it. No one saw him? No one with any integrity knows what he did? I can't even believe a person could be such a bastard to do that to you.
