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

      What the fuck are you doing.

      Stop spamming my inbox please. Read what I’ve written, formulate a reply, and keep things in one place. I am not interested in whatever this is.

              Okay, so if I’m going to have this conversation, I need to ask you to keep your replies contained so that I can read and reply to them in one place. Can you agree to that?

                  Okay, you can fuck off. My time and attention aren’t infinite and I am not so curious to understand you that I’m going to wade through whatever bullshit you feel you’re entitled to throw at me. If you can’t be bothered to do the work to make yourself legible then I’m not going to do that work for you.

                  I feel like this is a case of the hit dog barking.

                    Check their comment history. They’ve been trolling people for a LONG time here. They’ve been proven wrong countless times, and they just pretend to be a victim and report people until they’re banned.

                    I had it out with this kid a few hours ago and called them out. Guess what happened….
