[QUOTE="michaelnc4444, post: 2058452, member: 26525"] I don't think being angry is the answer, when you resort to being angry, you automatically lose credibility. Like JB said you scare people, but that is just part of it. Intelligent people "speak" to one another, when you resort to name calling and yelling, you, by default, lose the intelligence of your argument. I realize that it can get incredibly difficult, when they refuse to listen to reason or facts, but you really must maintain your civility. You see, they want you to lose your cool, so they can discredit you as a "crazy, foaming at the mouth, gun nut", because they know they lose the argument on facts, so they have to win it on emotions. Understand something though, there comes a point when civility is no longer an option. However, when we reach that point, we won't be talking anymore. EDIT - I realized I used the word angry and I should have used the word "nice". You can be angry, but you must attempt to keep it civil, you don't even have to be nice, but you have to remain composed. [/QUOTE]
