Hi ZenMan,
**always friends**
My dad had a saying that I can't quite remember all the words to but it went something like:
You will always have an opinion and can feel strong enough to respectfully disagree.
You can disagree but it doesn't always have to be a debate
You can have a healthy debate but it doesn't have to be an argument
You're in a red zone if the argument becomes conflict
You disengage if the argument steers toward a fight
Otherwise you could quickly face
a battle which will likely turn to war.
Or something like that. 🙂
So, I'm not good at conflict.
Heck, I can't even formulate an opinion on most topics here as I just don't know enough. 😇
And I certainly appreciate and respect your knowledge, experience, time and kindness.
