Just last week on the Book of Faces I had two friends debating the nuances of a government policy, which ended up with them belittling one another.

After a few rounds, I chimed in and told them they are 99% aligned politically and it’s a shame they were attacking each other over some esoteric feature that was guaranteed to NOT be solved because two otherwise allied individuals were now less-willing to work together because of their personal attacks over this one small difference.
