I don’t argue or “debate” online. Most online back-and-forth feels pointless and often intentionally inflammatory or in bad faith. I read all the replies I receive, but I rarely respond.

I just treat others how I want to be treated. Like I’d never say something I wouldn’t say to someone face to face, just because it’s the internet.
This backfires a lot because other people don’t want to be treated like you do.
That’s why there’s the platinum rule. Treat people as though they’re following the golden rule, and thus treat them as they’re treating others.
To quote Professor Farnsworth from the recent season of Futurama…
Fortune Teller Bot: Many people believe in a Heaven, yet you do not call them crazy.
Professor Farnsworth: Yes I do! To their faces, and behind their backs I’m even ruder!
