I suppose that specifically I am wondering if there are any things you do to perhaps:

  1. stay calm
  2. calm the other person down
  3. get them to understand you better
  4. understand their point of view
  5. diffuse trolls
  6. just be a good person who wants to participate in a conversation that enhances your understanding of others, different cultures, and the world and how it works

    1. Don’t be a jerk
    2. If someone else is being a jerk and you aren’t in charge, give up and leave.
    3. #2 but you are in charge, get rid of them
    4. Don’t be a jerk

      “Don’t be a jerk” is the theoretical core principle of most of the religions of the world. Pity the practical implementation is sub- optimal.
