Yes, knowing when to stop is a good skill, and a very hard one. I remember an argument when I was young, where every time I gave up on trying to convince someone I was right, they insisted that that meant I knew they were right! It was hard to just stop trying to convince the unconvincable anyway.

M67PattonZippo: I hope that wasn't your block message ;) That's definitely the sort of thing I'm suggesting you avoid

Dat One: it is definitely hard to stay calm. Even the calmest of us has our sore spots, and people will try to find those. And when they do, it can take all your will-power not to react with force! But there can be a great satisfaction in not doing so. Keeping calm means they will never know that sore spot is there, and gives you the power to continue doing your job as an admin without them "winning".
