...that their opinions are? just back firing on them, do you think they try to avoid it all together? Im going back and forth with someone I stated my opinion I read between lines as to what he was saying. However he made it a point after 2 hours of going back and forth (he could be use his energy and time elsewhere took him 2 hours) he could of canceled the discussion but he was continuing I believe I was getting the best.. How was I sure tho? he did eventually said he had better things to do after his pointless points. How did I know I won the debate? I feel it but he was pretty good
 
I think the truth is somewhere between heated opinions. Someone could feel strongly about something but not be clear about it or think it through. There shouldn't be a winner or loser...just a resolution. Isn't that the point of arguing..?..to discuss options and opinions and formulate the best conclusion possible? Part of the problem might be your need to win. But the fact that he was willing to back down on his position sounds like you 'won'. Now the question should be, 'how do I be a gracious winner?'
