“I challenged their beliefs and they didn’t respond; that means I’m right!” Nope. It means the other party didn’t respond. “We have to turn this into a conversation about what I believe is important to discuss!” No, we don’t. “If you don’t want to discuss this it’s more evidence that there’s a problem!” No, it’s evidence that I don’t want to discuss it; maybe I just don’t want to participate in the poo-slinging fest.
