I'm on the other end of this argument, but it is damn nice to hear somebody actually admit that their opponent is a thinking human being. It's pretty hard to convince somebody else of anything when you're not willing to try and understand why they believe their position is correct and moral. There aren't that many people in the world who really don't care about right and wrong or justice and injustice.
