I didn't have to argue about what Lincoln said/didn't say before he was POTUS..
I've simply had to argue whether he actively chose bloodshed over negotiation(he did), whether it's his fault that 600,000+ Americans died(it is) and whether he was a ****** President(he was but that's open to interpretation if you weigh good vs bad).
You still didn't say how your example conversation was different than what happened. Just a bunch of yelling and name calling from many sides. Many sides.

But, you're right, it went how it would have went with that exception.
