I suggest a little snack also. You will need your brain working in tip top form.

that and i'm not sure where to start either.
what makes you know that you are pushing buttons anyway? what does that mean anyway? some kind of abnormal physiological state, if so what are the indications of that?

Flaming is a great indicator that someone's buttons have been pushed.

and why is that?
the use of a word changes the emotions or thoughts of a person? or is it just more likely that the emotions and thoughts of a person who flames has had their buttons pushed?
either way you don't know whether or not you pushed them (to assume you did, to me...is a bit arrogant) unless the person admitted to it....even then their definition of it may not be equivalent to your idea.
so what is pushing someone's buttons? how would you know you did actually push them? would thinking that you pushed someone's buttons, and not actually pushing them, mean that you pushed your own buttons?

Eh, make up all sorts of reasons for it, when it comes down to it you push buttons because of death anxiety.

I think certain things can be learned from someone pushing your buttons. But the things learned are patience and how to put up with someone. There are ways to help someone come to a realization without pushing their buttons.

I couldn't find those classic scenes where they push each others noses and eyes, then kicking the legs and such :-) That's the result of button-pushing 
Hehe, yes and in modern times we enjoy pushing buttons through some kind of 'doors' (medium), to better hide from the consequences if it comes out that this pushing was not accidentally but intentionally

Yes, when push comes to shove.

I just wonder if a person that pushes buttons in an intended way like Ice describes, really is that 'selfless' as he pretends. It could be selfish quite as well.
What matters is the question if it's good to get buttons pushed generally. And there I think we have to discern if it is done intentionally or 'naturally'. For 'natural' causes, I think it is generally good. For intentional 'causes' I am not so sure about and tend to say it's not good. Now, what's the difference.... I am contemplating about. --- beep out ---
