Having a rational discussion.

Show this on CF.

Maybe we could use it.

I love that flow chart. I am going to send it to all my co-workers that persist in lecturing me on whatever Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, or Glen Beck is harping on that day.

Some discuss. Some air their prejudices and wave red pens.

I think using that chart would eliminate most posts on "Off Topic."

Besides, I know I'm right, why should I change?

Love the flow charts in the troubleshooting section of manuals.
Problem is they are at the back and often consulted when the damage is done.
Suspect this fault is generic and relates to the personality of the user, self included.
Safe sailing

-laugh- If this were followed, there'd be some regulars in Off Topic & Political that would never post... Can't say it wouldn't be an improvement though

Wouldn't it have been easier to just say, I'm right, so there's nothing to discuss? Oops, I forget, it has to appear "reasonable".

That only works when you're right.
When have you ever worried about appearing reasonable, or even "reasonable" for that matter?
