If I perceive an error in my point of view, I will attempt to change it. It is very simple. In certain times, I can see both sides of the fence, but that is reserved for my most Taoistic and meditative moments. However, Taoism is not conducive to argument!

My anger was a not a product of your anger. That is, it was irrelevant to me if you were angry, or if your were at all emotionally concerned with the argument. My anger arose because I viewed your ideas as in error. More importantly, I was unable to convince you that they were in error.
The falsehood or truth of your ideas has yet to be firmly established. What frustrated me was that I was unable to properly communicate. So many WAB conversations could be solved in person!
I don't know how this semi-psychoanalysis started, but we should stop it. It is not germane to the topic.
