Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.

I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.

Try to find someone with a sense of humor. That's an important thing to have because when you get into an argument, one of the best ways to diffuse it is to be funny. You don't want to hide away from a point, because some points are serious, but you'd rather have a discussion that was a discussion, rather than an argument.

I don't like yelling insults at someone who's never done anything to me.

If you don't like what someone has to say, argue with them.

I cannot do confrontation. You know that fight or flight thing? I'm flight. I just don't want the argument.

I'd rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.

I dislike conflict, so I do try and steer clear of arguments. Apart from with my coach. Who I literally have an argument with every day.

I'm used to politics at an international level: people put together an argument and, even if you vehemently disagree with them, well, you can recognise it's an argument and respond.
