A caller on an AM radio talk show had just stepped down from his soap box. The host responded, without any hint of fire in his voice, "I could not disagree more, but that's my problem, I suppose." I still think that was a smart way of saying, "Your take on this issue is deeply flawed, but there's no point in getting worked up over it and picking it apart." I thought it was one of the most adult ways to tell a caller, "Whatever," in essence.
