I know quite a few of them. I think they often end up very unhappy people because when someone has control issues they are destined for a lot of misery in life. The only person we can ever really control is ourselves.

And lots of people can't even control themselves.

To me a right-fighter is not just someone who thinks that he knows it all or that is just strongly opinionated. It's more a need to be heard and to be validated to the extreme.

I see nothing wrong with those who argue with facts and logical thinking. But a person should be able to size up his audience and know how to deal with them. Sometimes it's okay to continue; other times, it's best to put the brakes on. But a right-fighter is a person who keeps on and on.

A bit of a tangent here: I think that the oft-used "I'll let you have the last word" is a very passive-aggressive strategy. The best way to end such a discussion online is just not to respond anymore.

Yes, people like that are obnoxious. We were taught in debating class (in high school) that you can actually lose a debate by acting too mean. There are ways to get a point across while remaining civil.

@suzyQ3 I find this to be true, especially if their arguments are in fact "right." If they are not right, then that's different.

No one should dumb themselves down to make others feel good. Besides a good lesson can be learned by the best of us "anytime."

@Mothertrucker no, I don't think it's the same. Trying to relay facts usurps someone trying to stir the pot with false information even if its unbeknownst to them.

Even though we don't see eye to eye on the meaning of a "right fighter," I apppreciate your reply, @itiswhatitis

Why are they called "Right"? My brother-in-law was like this. If you didn't like the way he thought, then you were nothing. He would walk away from you, if you started disagreeing with him. Actually I have to SILs who do the same thing. I call it dump and run. They can dish it out, but they can't take what you are saying.
Bcz they think they're right and have to prove it at all costs....
When and if they do prove it at all cost (prove it) what's wrong with that @Quse? Should they pretend they aren't to "get along?"

@itiswhatitis Didn't say there was anything wrong with it, just answering QGirl2's question of why they are called "right". I don't know about "pretending to get along", but sometimes it's not necessary to argue every stupid thing that comes along just to be "right". Especially these days when there are an infinite amount of "facts" that aren't, in fact, facts...and the "proof" is likely more conjecture and opinion than fact.

Sometimes, silence says enough.
