Lawyer by day. Rules lawyer by night.
There was a study a few years ago that showed that when people of different political ideologies actually got a chance to talk with each other online and took their time to explain their reasoning... it actually strengthened each person's belief in their own side.
I feel like I fall into this trap too. "If I explain my ideas clearly, THIS time the logic will be too strong for them to disagree with!"
And it... never works!
