Bwaaaaahahahahaaaaa! Now I'm yanking your chain. Nothing like a little tinfoil now and then. ;-)
Actually, I try it at harmony-central. I NEVER use profanity there, though it is thrown at me in spades. But, to be fair, it’s not that hard due to the way I’m wired. In my “real life” arguments with people, the more emotional the other side gets, the more calm I get. I go into “Mr. Spock” mode. And I literally think, at the time “If I show emotion, I have lost.” I think it is one thing that drove my first wife crazy. Her argument style was to ramp it up, yell and scream, etc., and the angrier she appeared, the calmer I appeared. Her parents argued a lot (Mine never did) and I think it is something she just expected...
Even when I used the word “idiot”, I was referring to Beck’s definition. I think we are all idiots on one subject or another, to one degree or another, within the context of his definition.
