Believe it or not, I meant tangle in a good way. Tangle is good! It is only
by discussing things with someone who might show you the other side that you
learn something. If I only discussed issues with someone in total agreement,
I'd never learn anything more, and no offense, but the only reason I'm here
is to learn.
