It was not even an argument, it was a series of emails between a person I don't know and me , a person I am not so sure I would ever want to know, a person who reacted to a massmail where my name was included, a reaction that I thought was incorrect, hence the mails.
The last mail from him was this morning, and I got all fired up again, wanting to drive my point home, wanting to make this person see the light and in my mind I composed all kinds of clever and erudite responses and then, slowly I admit, I realized that no amount of emails from me would change that person's point of view, just as in reverse, I was not going to change either.
So I decided to stop the flow of mails, to admit defeat and get on with my life and wish the unknown and unchangeable person all the best.
All the best, Bud.
