OK... that explains a lot and I will try to remember that. I apologize if I was rude in any way.

It is OK -- thank you for understanding me. Autism may be a disability or a talent.
 
This question is odd. It assumes that someone who holds strong convictions will back down when facts are NOT on the table. I guess I assume everyone uses the same facts, but like most say, it really depends on the issue.

Humans are irrational ;)
 
This is a tough question really... I never buckle in what I think but if I don't care what the other person thinks or if I will win as a result of not continuing my argument then I will let them think whatever they want. Why would I waste my time arguing someone with a High Conflict Personality or some Disorder like BPD? Why would I argue with my boss if I am right but it does not matter or might affect my pay/job? I got much of what I wanted in our custody arrangement by letting my ex think that she proved her point about me and beat me in an argument. Great for her. I won the case though because I stuck to facts. I am sure you can see where I am going with this overall... but on the flip side I might just argue moreif it amuses me regardless of what the other person thinks...

Definitely. Arguing with some people on Straight Dope Message Board I felt like I stepped into something.

Why? Could you explain like I am an Autistic?

Here's the question, "How easily do you buckle?" What was it that you meant to ask...? The only thing I can think of that people buckle are belts and things of that kind. Oh, hell, forget it. This is futile.

What better word should I have used?

How easy it is for others to force you to back down.

I voted wrong. Should have read the OP first. I thought this poll was about seat belts.
 
Never flail and never falter shoulders up.
