Why do people get so strung out when they think their ideals are being attacked?

I responded to a discussion earlier today and got a response back. There was obviously disagreement about the subject and I decided that I would not make any further responses on that thread. There were several discussions started on the subject and I don't think I should respond to any more of them because I became so upset that I almost became nasty. What do you do in that kind of situation? Do you just ignore any further posts or do you look at additional "information"?

Opinions vary and I respect all of it. If it's how they see and judge my response, I'll just leave it that way. I cannot make more disagreements just to prove myself and to shout loud that I was right.
If ever I encounter one personal attack or something that may annoy me, I'll just respond in all politeness and kindness and be thankful just the same. Maybe that person is trying to remind me of something about myself. I am no perfect person and I will always admit that but I will always do my best. I may say my intentions but others may see it differently, then it won't bother me. As long as I know, I have the good intentions, I will just need to understand.
Smiles!

I think the problem was I responded to a political type discussion. I think I tried to respond like that but I got more annoyed when the poster tried to prove him/herself correct. I wish everyone would see things the way you just said. We all receive the information from the news where we are from and we all interpret it in our own way. There is no telling who is right and who is wrong. It is all a matter of interpretation. Thanks for your comment.

Yes, we have different biological and social experience and we think as we were nurtured by it.
Anyway, just put that foot of understanding and you will enjoy more!

I know what you mean. I agree with you also. I think that the best way is to not let it get to me. That is why I decided not to go there any more. Thanks for the comment.
