I don't mind stress in a discussion if it will produce something good, but with arguers, there is no good place to go.
Their only goal is to win. We should be able to recognize them easily by their verbiage.
Proverbs 29:8-10
8 Scorners set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away anger.
9 When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man,
The foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
10 Men of bloodshed hate the blameless,
But the upright is concerned for his life."
We see this mentality of arguing to win more than anything else these days. Those who are arrogant cannot admit they're wrong, in fact they cannot even discuss something when they have been shown to be wrong.
The wise man admits they were wrong because they care more about truth than they do about winning.
