Dave Gnome sez: Interesting that Joe classed those who "would much prefer to be right, than to compromise and actually get something accomplished" as extremists though. I disagreed but I do recognise that trait in someone posting here. If I could just put my finger on it...

Logical Error Alert!!!!

Dave, I classed extremists as those who "would much prefer to be right, than to compromise and actually get something accomplished".

You got it switched around, Dave. Not all those who insist on their rightness over willingness to compromise, are extremists. I think they're mostly all assholes, though. We have to be able to forge compromises that are satisfactory to all, if we are to be able to live in peace with our neighbors.

I don't think that a good compromise involves feeling forced to accept something that one considers unacceptable. I think we need to go farther and work out compromises that serve the needs of all.
