On the contrary, he will pay no attention to rational arguments except to find in them some aspect or feature that actually confirms his original view. Anyone who tries to influence or persuade a suspicious person will not only fail, but also, unless he is sensible enough to abandon his efforts early will, himself, become an object of the original suspicious idea.</i><br /><br />(Emphasis mine) Kind of sums up a lot of the nutters that get argued with, eh?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565621013251370015noreply@blogger.com
