I did take what you said as "constructive criticism". In a very real and very positive sense.

If I cannot take an honest opinion and reflect on it, then I am not being honest with myself. Worse, I could be living a lie.

I wasn't so much as goading as I was determined not to let Fyron off the hook this time. Fyron uses a number of tactics to prove to himself he is right and to give the impresssion to others he is always right.

One of his Favorites is the subject change. When he feels he is losing the arguement, he will change the subject or throw it in a new direction where he can come out on top.

Unfortunately, most participants in the conversation don't realize he is doing this. They are always put in a position of "losing" and there is often bewilderment and anger over it.

I cannot recall the number of times he has used this tactic on me. I recognize it and usually stop participating. Since he has the Last word, he believes he has won the issue, which couldn't be further from the truth. I just refuse to go along with the subject change. This time I didn't.

Fyron has yet to learn there is no shame in being wrong and openly admitting it. Then real growth can take place.

I do consider Fyron a friend. I am just getting tired of the tactics being used on me. So this time I took it to the limit...to the amusement of everyone around us.

And yes, there was an element of goading. The fact I did it in the manner that I did is an indication of how annoyed I was becoming with the tactics being used.
