Quatrain of Shutting Up

Shutting Up - know when

Once your arguments have
become stale, there is
a tendency to go
for personal
attacks,

Instead of just shutting up,
it is tempting to degrade
an opponent with
a few lying
whacks.

It seems we all wish to get the
last word in, especially
when losing to the
truth and
facts,

Character is best defined by
how you lose, and how you do
or don't allow disagreements
to fall through the
cracks.
