I think we've all been guilty of it at one time or another.

The underlying problem is that many of us don't always practice the best confrontational styles. We're more concerned with saying what is on our mind than getting any kind of point accross.

Sometimes that's a legitimate communication goal.

On subjects like this and in this particular forum it would be great if people were just a little less aggressive in expressing themselves (trying to humiliate the other party) and a little more assertive (trying to reach a common ground or common understanding).

Again, I'll say that I think *EVERYONE* including myself has been guilty of being a little overagressive with my opinions from time to time.
