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

    Depends on what you mean by “works” - it won’t change their minds, though I suppose you mean it can help reveal their style to other onlookers.

    It is like arguing with children, except that’s fun! :-D
