Talking works if both people are earnest about wanting to *talk*. I would rather someone raise their voice and yell at me, and show some reaction to the points where I'm disagreeing with them, if the alternative is that they're going to maintain a calm voice and facade and not listen to a word I'm saying. (Of course, ideally a calm voice and actually listening are the best combination ... but you know what I mean. I'd rather have interaction than politeness, if I have to choose.)
