well what do you mean by transaction?

my belief is that in order to make someone consider your point, you have to consider their point first.

if you give them your opinion on one of their reads, they'll be more likely to give an opinion on yours

or at the very least, you have to acknowledge their points, if you're on opposite sides. "i understand why you think X is scum, you're right, they are playing less energized than usual and they had some weak cases, BUT, i think those things are explained by Y"

you can't convince someone of something if you're not open to being convinced the other way around. it has to always be a two-way street.
