By controlling yourself. Accept that not everything you say is an absolute fact and that others have different opinions than your own. You HAVE to accept that otherwise you have no business even having a single conversation with another human being on this planet. Everyone is different. When they are different from yourself, that shouldn't give you cause to go after them personally. Stick to your argument and present factoids as best as you can. If those factoids are strong enough, any educated person will consider them and may or may not change their view. If they don't, you cannot hold it against them.
This is all I'm saying on this subject, people should know how to have a conversation by now on public forums without getting personal.
That is all fine and dandy and political correct. Things go bust when you are presenting facts, which ARE facts, but someone else likes to invent their own.
This is already off topic though and since you are not a mod, as far as I am aware, I wonder why you jumped in to comment on my posts. Maybe because you both have something in common heh? That is all I'm saying on the subject as well, since everyone else knows who you both are and who you work or worked for.
