I personally ignore the bickering, and try to pull
what lumps of truth I can get out of peoples'
arguments, even if they *are* presented in an
aggressive manner.
People who have their egos wrapped up in these debates
want an audience more than anything else, and strong
responses only encourage them.
My only advice for those who are feel a strong
compulsion to instruct or correct others, is to stop
and think first. Think about who can handle what, and
what the best way is for them to digest it. You
shouldn't have to pander or soften up any of your
messages. But if you give a sensitive person the best
advice in the world, phrasing it the wrong way could
repel them. Patience.
And always ask yourself "Am I correcting this person
for their benefit, or my ego's?"
