WTBH,
I can only hope that I could do as good as you in the same situation. I think you did great! A's are so good at sucking us in and you held your ground. I am usually about half way through a "conversation" before I realize I was baited, which is better than it used to be (baby steps are good). I used to get myself all worked up and would just be fuming before it was over. I am now seeing how illogical they can be and how nothing we say to do can change it. Why waste the effort.. I have better things to do!
