I consider arguing, and negotiating as seperate things, and require different tactics

Good point. Arguing is more about being right, with little regard for gaining favor. Negotiating is more about getting your way - you don't have to be right, and a certain amount of tact needs to be in place.

This is a good distinction for me. In arguement, I either win or tie, I am rarely convinced the other person is right. In negotiating, I tend to believe I am right but end up going along with the other person.
