Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?
Why can’t people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?
“Simply don’t engage, ignore it, and continue on with life.” making that decision takes some small amount of time, energy, and attention, all of which, at least for me, are limited. If someone demonstrates they aren’t worth my time to engage with, and engaging with them makes my day worse, it’s logical to block them, it’s only a benefit to me in the future.
How do you handle it when you are out in public and someone insults you, do you fight them or do you go somewhere else?
