A Matter of Principle

It is not easy to make friend but on other hand it is quite easy to lose one. I have come across such a man who for reason that only he himself knows chose to break off with me just because I tried to reason with him on some articles he posted in his blog. A mutual friend suggested to me to stop arguing with him and leave him alone in his own blog but I think it a matter of principle that I should be given a chance to say what I feel right and he as a progressive element as he professed should at least hear what I have to say and not unceremoniously slam my phone call. Well I think if I give way to him and his despotic way, I would encourage his bossy ways. So I believe as a matter of principle, I would rather lose such a friend than kowtow to him like a slave.
