Wisdom from Whoopi

Image via Wikipedia A Civil Person's Handy List:
How not to turn a Discussion into a fight
-Don't call somebody stupid.
-Don't call somebody an idiot.
-Don't point and laugh.
-Don't repeat what the person just said in a cartoon voice.
-Don't roll your eyes and say, "Yuh, right," or "Duh."
-Don't freak when the other person gets passionate. Passion is not an attack.

And smile once or twice. It'll keep things nice and civil. And if it doesn't, then it will scare the crap out of the person you're talking to. Either way, you can't go wrong.
