So true, Maya. Try playing a tennis match next to guys!!! They all think they're Federer or Nadal or MacEnroe. You can smell the testerone. When they're going for a ball and it 'happens' to bounce in the direction of the court you're on, and you're playing, they have no problem racing onto your court to return it. LOL! So true, Maya.

Haven't you observed a verbal/written battle where it was clear that "winning" was all the combatants cared about? Since I've joined writers' groups, I've seen this dynamic more than once--especially between two men. They are so busy thinking of what they're going to say next, that they don't even "hear" what is being said to them. When I get anywhere near this kind of a fight, I run and run fast.
