I feel your pain. Arguing is one of those things that I loathe and yet find myself doing anyway, usually in a wrong way.

I have found that most ideas are probably best not shared to minimize conflict so that when the big ideas come in--for me those are my Christian ideas, salvation, etc--your argument is not clouded by all your other ideas and past hostilities, you have some capital to work with so to speak.

Anyway. my conclusion is that we fight too much about stupid things and not enough about what is eternal. Fight the fight!
