This is an excellent one:

You know what's strange? Robert points out that his response to Sylvia and her fans' response to her behavior may be a matter of people seeing things through different prisms and with different expectations because of a disagreement on the facts of the matter but you have "I say tomato, you say toh-mah-toe" situations even when both parties agree on the facts a hundred percent.
Have you ever been in a situation where, for example, you meet someone new and someone else says something like "Wow, Mike's friend Peter is a really cool guy!" and you say "Peter is an obnoxious idiot!" ?
You've met the same Peter. And you are talking about the same person- you even see exactly why they would like Peter and why they find him to be alot of fun. He just happens to annoy you very much- and with the exact same qualities that other people find so lovable.
All of you agree on "A". It's just that they think that "A" equals B and you think that "A" equals C.
