This is a totally generic question. It's not about any specific argument. But, looking at my own current signature, with Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny arguing over "Wabbit Season", it got me thinking how people have different approaches to an argument.
So, this is my attempt to start a discussion about arguing. Since it's not about a specific argument, there's no real reason to let it get out of hand, right? So, chime in and talk about how you approach others in discussion or how you perceive others' arguments. What approaches do you think are more effective? When does a discussion become an argument and when does that become a fight?
Now, this isn't an attempt to get into argument styles based on writing exercises from a speech or grammar point of view. It's just for fun and let's see where it goes. So keep it light. Soapbox speeches and long-winded lessons are not needed here (believe me, many here are quite familiar with my own lengthy and sometimes boring tomes).
Have fun and, remember, no fighting!

It seemed like such a waste to destroy an entire battle station just to eliminate one man. But Charlie knew that it was the only way to ensure the absolute and total destruction of Quasi-duck, once and for all.
