Honestly, for the person I responded to, doing literally nothing would have been better. I’m not suggesting we give people cookies for changing their minds [or whatever]. I’m just saying that being unconstructively critical is actively pushing against the kind of change and progress I would assume someone taking the position they are taking would want. Unless that’s not the objective and they are in fact trying to maintain the divide. That is possible. But assuming everyone is a bot or astroturfer is no way to live. Not hitting Post is always an option.
