If you are in a heated argument with someone, do you believe the one that tells the loudest and the longest wins the argument?

Correction - tells should be yells. Sorry.

I agree with alex8736. Usually the one yelling the loudest, is the one that is the least knowledgeable about whatever the two of you are arguing about! Sometimes that makes you a bigger fool than the big mouth!

[OlderAndWiser]

The one who yells the loudest and the longest does so because he has nothing of substance to say.

Thanks for MHO!

By definition, no one has ever won an argument, and no one ever will. Arguing and communicating are impossible to do simultaneously. You can choose to do one or the other, but not both.

When we feel we're not being heard, we tend to raise our voice and/or repeat ourselves, yet those actions are more likely to get the other to tune us out (as an irritant to our ears) than open themselves to hear what we are saying. The key is to learn how to communicate effectively... not see how hard you can force things down the throat of the other person.

nope... I never get raise my tone, no shouting, certainly never yell to others

for me, the only win is resolving the issue... and not to say that "I won this battle"

besides, my voice could fill a massive arena, so is not a good idea for me to get loud... lol

the ones who yell are 8 out of 10 times caught in a lie so they start yelling and screaming like an 8 year old and then start name calling due to their ignorance. Arguing with an idiot Will only bring you down to their mental maturity level then beat you with experience

[Chazmatazz269]

Haha! No, but dummies usually do. The name-callers have a similar practice. They do kind of “win” when smart people just walk away. So there’s that.

If someone is trying to communicate with me by yelling in this context I would refuse communicate until they can communicate in a mature manner.

If you're yelling you've already lost. Sit down.

[sage2021]

@Sixgunsound am I on time out? 🙂 I wasn't the one yelling. And I was sitting down when he was yelling at me.

[Sixgunsound]

Not you specifically, it was a general statement. i didn't even read the comments.

[inhua]

no but most people would simply believe the loudest debater won the argument

[FunkyMonkee]

No, the one with the most valid provable point wins.

[exitseven]

No, the one who has the facts on his side carries the day.

[worldscolide]

Usually the one that resorts to yelling and ne calling is the one that lost the argument.

[BarryLiverstone]

Why would there need to be a winner in an argument? No yelling isn’t productive.

[Ms_Facesitter]

The loudest usually has already lost the argument.
