Question

How do I tell if I won an argument?

Athena Frenier

Community Answer

There are different levels of winning an argument. An absolute win is when they see and agree with your side. The next level of winning below that is when they may still not agree with you, but they see your side, and where you are coming from.

Question

How do I win an argument if someone is using information against me that makes me sound like the bad person whenever it's actually them? How do I deal with it? How do I go against it?

Community Answer

Just navigate to a different post. You’ll feel a lot better, and won’t have to deal with it anymore.

Question

What if they beat around the bush and avoid the question I am asking them?

Community Answer

Tell them they didn't answer the question, and insist they do so. If they do not, it is a sign you have won because they cannot, or will not, reply to your question.

Could finding their IP Address be classified as winning?

RB38

Community Answer

Yes. It is considered an extremely professional move to be used more frequently against your opponent, especially if your opponent is insulting you severely.
