No, I absolutely REFUSE to get involved in verbal abuse battles.
Although I use no censor in expressing what I perceive as true or valid, I ensure that I'm never purely bashing, I consider how much eloquence I can put behind it and if I decide that it's not enough, I withdraw.
Perhaps I should have clarified that I can judge with no problem when a situation is best walked away from and do so. Like I said, I've learned to appropriately select my soapboxes.
For example, I'm not huge into debates because I'd rather avoid situations that will heat me up as when I get heated up my judgment lapses.
