I for one, tend to be much more direct when disagreeing with someone
There simply are very few people who posses the ability to repartee with devastating effect using simple language that implies to much.
Churchill - "A lady came up to me one day and said 'Sir! You are drunk,' to which I replied 'I am drunk today madam, and tomorrow I shall be sober but you will still be ugly."
Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee."
Winston Churchill: "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it."
I Wonder, is it possible you too, may have reached your zenith during high school?
Unless you are from the South (Many former British subjects - Not the crazy Puritans who went to Texachusetts - emigrated to the South and this may be their source of Churchillian repartee) you may not be accustomed to the art of the insult
You apparently are not accustomed to the value of brevity in effectively making your points.
It is a rare - but good - man who can call one an SOB to their face and have them give thanks or agree..

Definition of a TRUE BSciff’er
You know you have reached TRUE BSchiff status when-on a bright sunny day- you and an acquaintance enter a building, the acquaintance holding the door for you and someone says “What is the weather like out there” and you reply “Raining like Hell” and your acquaintance turns around to look.
