What was it about? Did you admit you were wrong or adamantly insist on your point? How did your interlocutor react? How would you like someone to react if you concede errors?

    I’ve had a couple lemmy arguments where I missed a subtle point that the other person was making and mistook it for something else.

    You just got to bite that bullet, I usually say: I’m sorry. I misread what you were saying. It’s my bad.

    And then I continue on with any other disagreements I may have, but if there’s none then I usually end it with. Have a nice life.

    The moment it is more about winning than it is about truth, the less interesting the conversation is to me.
