Yeah, the only time I'll whip out one of these is when I'm in a conversation that has no chance of going anywhere. Of course they should be avoided in actual good faith argument, but they're handy as a social tool when you need a mode of egress that's softer than the alternative.
Anyone who has old friends that became politically radical will know the dance.
- AnimalMuppet 8mo agoAt least once, I have done the following: "Here's why I disagree with your position. [supply a concise statement]. I'm done with the conversation here, but I'll let you have the last word." It conveys disagreement. It conveys that I'm out. But it's still respectful.
- AndrewKemendo 8mo agoThen why not directly say: “well you and I disagree on this and so that it’s not worth engaging in further let’s switch to a new topic”
- kylecazar 8mo agoRight, that is the same thing as "Let's agree to disagree.", which is an example in this article.
