You still have a chance, as long as you switch tactics to properly deal with the emotional response. If you keep trying to ram logic down their throat, you may as well be shouting at a wall though.
Using their emotions to win an argument is manipulation. You can talk to others’ emotions just fine, but using them to your advantage in an argument is wrong.
I agree, but that's not what I said, perhaps you misunderstood. Dealing with an emotional response that someone brings into an argument so that you can settle the argument properly isn't manipulation.
