I don't think the "longer post" bit is right but not using quotes is.
I'm just going to use the politicians' tactics of changing the subject entirely.

Re: Winning an argument

Its not about winning though - throw in some humour to quell the situation is my tactic, don't like arguments at all

I haven't got the stamina to argue a point for more than about four posts.

Nice thought Nom but lets be honest, when you look at it who really cares who wins an argument when lives or livelihoods don’t depend on the outcome.
Domestic arguments become fewer and fewer as one gets older, it’s so long now since the wife and me had a good ding dong that I forget how to argue with her, we slag each other now and laugh because we know there’s no point is rowing.
I must say some of the arguments on forums do amuse me, so funny to see mature men/women getting all hot under the collar and hammering away at each other about something they can do absolutely nothing about. Your health is your wealth and to hell with stupid arguments, that's for politicians who get well paid for it.
