I agree with the sentiment, but how can you know to trust someone's advice if they're acting in a way that's obviously very socially stupid? (I'm not huge on excessive politeness, but I think it's quite stupid to be aggressive for no reason. What purpose does that serve? Why should I trust the advice of a person that acts that way?)


I assume by treating their argument in a rational non-emotional way...
