G. Greenwald is addicted to arguing, isn't he?

[MrScorpio]

67. I really stepped into it this time

I wasn't concerned about content, just format. What they were arguing about was less of a concern to me than how they were doing it. It looked to me as if Greenwald's anger came straight out of left field in order to throw a percieved challenger for a loop. No clarification, no elaboration, just straight confrontation.

I wonder if he ever apologizes whenever he says something wrongfully hurtful to someone else. No one is ever right all of the time That's what I meant about being right, even when he's wrong.

I get the feeling that he can never admit he's wrong. If everyone thinks he's right, no problem. I figure that one way to figure him out is to see what's he's like on a long trip together or to see how he deals with service workers.

Going straight to anger when detecting a challenge could be a sign of anger issues, it could also be a deliberate tactic to throw an opponent off guard. But if someone does that, they have to be perfectly cogent in their own message and perfectly clean on what they think is challenging them, otherwise it becomes a huge mess fairly quickly.

As an introvert myself, I've spent a lifetime avoiding confrontational personalities like that. Dealing with them is a huge problem for me, as they quickly drain the life out of a room. I call them Spiritual Vampires. I've got another introverted friend, whose opinions I trust implicitly. They know what I'm talking about, so I should get a second opinion.
