VERY TRUE. A man once told me that the best way to avert an argument was to say to the angry person, "You know, you could be right about that" and walk away. You didn't say he was or wasn't but it would leave him or her feeling good about themselves and not upset with you.

I've ended many potential arguments that way in real life, Gramps. Sometimes that, or something like it is the best way to go. It's too easy to forget that when posting here and just lash out in kind. Way too easy.

That's a nice sentiment Jen, reminds me of what my father used to say in some situations.

"I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person." and he would walk away.

I try to do that, too, jammer. Usually works, tho I have had some try to escalate.
