4. Cut down on the profanity.
Much like yelling isn’t going to give you the upper hand, neither will calling him an assh*le. Does it feel great to resort to name-calling? You betcha! But beyond that, it isn’t really contributing anything of substance to the argument, and in order to win you’re going to need substance. If you want to make a point with your words, use killer vocabulary, not something a drunken pirate would say.
Remember: Look at your arguments like you’re in a court of law. You don’t see too many attorneys walking around dropping F-bombs and closing winning cases.
