Point, Counterpoint...

There's one view of social media that goes something like this...

Even back in the days of dialup and Usenet, when most debates were reasonably polite, nerds kept yellowing dot-matrix printed lists of logical fallacies taped to the side of their CRT monitors, and there was a thing called "netiquette", there were still plenty of flame boards where you could go and let it all hang out. Given the anonymity of a keyboard and an internet handle behind which to hide, some people can't help but turn into giant offensive twatwaffles.

But, y'know, bathing yourself in a giant boiling vat of argument juices is not good for your temperament, long-term. It warps you over time. Gives you a negative outlook on life. Turns you into one of those people.

Learning to just say "okay" and then actually leave the conversation has really improved my overall mental well being. Just leave and don't go back to see what, if anything, they replied. You do not owe them your attention. You don't have to give their negativity a room in your mind palace.

In the words of the great warrior-poet and Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla, Lord Humungus...
