some people argue by repeating themselves over and over with escalating volume. I guess they think the person didn't understand them the first time, so they figure that if they say it louder, it will penetrate the fog of whatever it is that is preventing the absorption of the information presented. Either that, or they can't think of any more pertinent points to make, and since the other person is drawing breath, it must be their turn to talk......and they have to say something...

I, on the other hand, prefer to repeat what the other person said, and then restate it and ask them if that is what they mean, and are they sure.....it tends to make them nervous that you're nailing them down into a position that you will use against them later. Costs them confidence.

You people have no god-damn clue about anything. You are too stupid to understand even how stupid you really are. ehh, you're worse than Hitler.

Hi Detour, nice to meet you, welcome to the cellar and all that, but I don't think you've quite got the point of this thread.

So, let me see if I understand you correctly, you are saying that is the thinking of those who are big dics?

I just wanna be sure I got you correctly.
