Eric, sometimes it is as simple as folks get tuckered out. It's frustrating when it happens and we were having fun chatting. But it's OK when folks are at the end of their words on a topic.

Neither of you were going to agree, and it can feel like you are trapped in a circle without an exit if you keep at that kind of conversation.

I appreciate that you posted this thread at all. I think it does give people more insight.
