I mentioned collective monologues. These are a complete waste of time. Two people, each convinced
the other is an idiot, will carry on at each other in such a way as to
make it impossible for an outside observer to tell who the idiot really
is (see the Congressional hearings on C-Span for an example of this). When you're in a collective monologue, end the conversation abruptly. You can change topics, simply "give in," or say you have to go. But, don't continue--you will only irritate the other person while wasting your own time and probably raising your own blood pressure. Here are some signs of a collective monologue.
