    Honestly, most of these people can’t be reasoned with. Even psychiatrists are saying it’s not worth trying at this point.

    I was bored, but if you’re going to engage, I’ve learnt a few things:

    1. Acknowledge you’re not going to change their mind, especially in online discussions.

    2. If you must engage, talk to the audience reading, not to the person debating you. Then acknowledge you won’t change their minds either.

    3. Every reply must be shorter than their last. Never try to out-talk them. They won’t read it, and you’re just giving them ammunition.

    4. If you really, really have to engage, know when to stop.

    I have a problem with #4 lol
