Someone's a bit uptight

I engaged Pompous Ponce in a short political conversation yesterday evening on something we don't quite see eye to eye on (the subject is not important), and it turned out quite differently than he had expected.

(towards the end of the conversation)

PP: 'I don't know why you started this conversation.'
MrT: 'If you listened to me, you'd find out that I agree with you'.
PP: 'Then why are we arguing?'
MrT: 'I'm not arguing, you are. I agree with you'.
PP: 'Oh, okay.'

Conversation ended.

Advice: Give your adversaries what they want, you'll really surprise them.
