A person\\\'s misinterpretation is our interpretation of our opinions getting twisted into an alternate opinion that we do not personally agree with and/or understand. Perhaps you have heard the phrase that \\\"Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion\\\"? While this is most commonly used as a way to insult a person by saying that \\\"this person is obviously wrong, but that\\\'s their problem and not ours\\\", I\\\'d like to think of it in a less demeaning way. Instead, I prefer this interpretation better: \\\"Whether you are wrong or right doesn\\\'t matter. There will always be someone out there waiting to disagree with you, and to tell you that your views of these matters are wrong, regardless of the fact that they may or may not be able to back up their arguments with logic or another old recycled point. That really is their problem. Whether or not their arguments are valid and worth debating, that is for you to decide.\\\"

You can\\\'t really pry a person\\\'s lips open and drag the words you want to hear from out of them. Once you accept the fact that you have not the power to force them to accept your judgement, than what\\\'s the point of name-calling? It won\\\'t help. I doubt it will really make anyone feel better. If anything, it\\\'ll just make things worse. Which, if that is your intended plan of action, makes you no better than those people who keep on with what they\\\'re doing just for the sake of arguing their case.
