How do you speak to people in a dispute?
Do you let emotions have their way?
Are you frank?
Is your manner of speech harsh?
Or do you formulate indirectly?
People like to be spoken to directly in a polite way.
Being polite does not mean being friendly.
Don't let other people's positions and agendas infuriate you. Don't personalise the dispute, stay objective and work towards your goal.
