"What is your arguing style?"
It depends largely on how the argument came about. I'd like to say that I'm calm and rational at all times. However, I have my moments. If it's a constructive argument (my favorite kind), then I usually can stay calm if not animated in presenting my side of the discussion.
In a more heated situation, I try my best to stay calm, but I have been told that when a "surprise" argument hits, I can be quite explosive, getting my "Irish" up *wink*. My Kentucky accent becomes stronger, I speak faster, I throw in phrases like "Ah'll believe tha' dang stuff when Hell freezes over yonder...," etc.
When an argument turns personal, I have been known to let the f-bombs fire off. In one situation, I was called "irresponsible" for not reading some half-written procedure by a lab egomaniac and then threatened with a pointed finger with "I'll get you for this!" While I basically told him that he could stick his procedure in an uncomfortable place, I do pride myself that I never turned the attack personal back at him (and believe me, I had PLENTY of ammunition).
