Ponies, ponies, ponies.

I like ponies.

In fact, a few weeks ago, I uttered the eternal phrase (really loud), “I want a pony!” in my cubicle, and my boss/landlord goes, in a much less loud voice, “we’re actually gonna be getting two ponies, one of which this weekend.” You can imagine my shock.

I’m getting ahead of myself, though. You see, I live on a horse farm. At the little guest house on it. This farm is owned by my boss at work, so he’s now my boss and landlord. The farm has a barn on it, with space for 8 horses. They provide boarding for horses as a way to offset the large cost of owning a farm.

In any case, a few weeks ago, we got ponies. And they’re as awesome as I could have ever imagined.

But such business is not the purpose of this post! The purpose of this post deals with when there’s conflict online. That is, when two people don’t meet eye-to-eye on something, or see anybodypart-to-anybodypart on it either. And alot of times they argue, or just endlessly go back and forth, reiterating their points until one of them runs out of steam.

So what can we do about this? Well, one important thing. Just note that you want a pony. No one can argue with such a pure and true desire, and it follows that that will be the end of the argument.
