[TM] 306. How far would you be willing to go to prove a point?

[changehistory]

I suppose, ultimately, that depends on just how attached to the point I was. Is it worth the time and energy to try and prove it? Do I really give a damn about convincing the person I'm arguing with? Does the person just need to be firmly put in their place for their arrogance or stupidity? Or, alternatively, is it in my best interests to maybe give in, and seem to accept their point of view for the moment in order to gain something greater down the road? Is the point one I believe in firmly, which I'm attached to and unwilling to bend on?

So many variables, but--how far would I be willing to go to prove a point that I believed in firmly to a person I really felt needed to understand the point, or to be put in their place?

That's easy. As far as it takes.
