I am difficult to persuade through force but easily persuaded through submission. Even if the opposing point of view is logically sound, I tend to not acknowledge it if there is a sense of superiority behind it, but I almost never ignore an idea, perspective or request for help that comes from a point of subordination unless that person was previously ignoring my advice and has now come back begging for help, in which case I will want the consquences of their decision to take full effect on them.
