In light of recent events perhaps we need a lesson on how to effectively disagree with someone.

When you disagree with someone what do you want to do? You want to sway them over to your side right? If you immediately say "you're just wrong" or "that's crappy advice" that will cause the other person to dig the trenches and stand their ground. Not a good situation.

So how do you do it? Well I personally ask questions about their point of view, innocently, slowly bringing them to the point when they themselves will see that they are wrong. True, if you do that you don't get to feel all macho with the "I was right you were wrong" attitdue, as you are simply causing the other person to re-evaluate their situation, and cause the other person THEMSELVES to see the fallacy of their thinking.

Make sense?

use feel, felt, and found on them. i do it all the time! listen to the person even though they are wrong, and tell them you know how they feel, because the other other day the same thing happened to you and you felt the same way, but i found when i talked to a manager in a rational, calm manner i was able to get my refund.
this is just an analogy johnnieO. use that with your situation you are in. nobody likes to be told their wrong. as soon as you do that, forget about solving anything!!!

It has nothing to do with you .. I'm just making a general observation when two people get into it over trivial matters, how best to handle it and still remain friends.

hehe... It probably could apply, but no -- you and Silvio weren't the two people I had in mind when I wrote this.
