>> These are interesting comments you've made in this discussion. But I wonder...how do you think your argument would turn out if your discussion was with someone who's 'God' (or 'master passion' if you prefer) was his own self-righteousness? When a person's 'God' or 'master passion' is his own self-righteousness, what kind of responses and assertions might such a person write to you?

>That would depend on the person's own definition of self-righteousness. It could be anywhere in the range between "whatever I say must be right", "I'm never wrong no matter what" to milder version "my goal is to be right, glad if you could help me know where I may be wrong".

Usually tried to end the dispute finding a way to sort of agree with them on something and then exit stage left and stay away from them. The best I could do is to repeat one of their sentences, counting on it sounding completely false from my mouth - and they'd usually take that as my consent.
