“Whereas some ascetics and Brahmins remain addicted to disputation such as:

‘You don't understand this doctrine and discipline - I do!’
“How could you understand this doctrine and discipline?”
‘Your way is all wrong - mine is right!’
“I am consistent - you aren't!”
‘You said last what you should have said first, and you said first what you should have said last!’
“What you took so long to think up has been refuted!”
‘Your argument has been overthrown, you're defeated!’
“Go on, save your doctrine - get out of that if you can!”

The ascetic Gotama refrains from such disputation.”

Your thoughts on the above.....

Greetings,

My thoughts are that the Buddha did not get emotionally invested in Dhamma discussions.
