There are plenty of people I don’t like on the web, but who I can talk to in a calm, rational way because while they aren’t nice people, they are relatively rational people. They are people you can have reasonable discussions with, even if you entirely disagree with them.
But there are also plenty of people on the web who I’ve found I just can’t talk to because they are not rational. They just… okay, imagine I am waving my hands in a slightly aggravated manner and going “urgh!” because that’s really the only way I can describe trying to interact with them.
The OP (not me - the OP from the post) isn’t suggesting you block everyone you encounter. Just those who will not be good for your mental wellbeing.
And I have to say - having encountered quite a lot of people who were not good for my mental wellbeing, I find it hard to disagree with them :)
i have experience and perspective and opinions. when i see people i agree with, i’m less inclined to comment. if i feel i can correct someone or point out a flawed premise, i’m highly inclined to do so. most people don’t like having their unspoken beliefs questioned, and that has led, often, to being called a troll or similar.
am i a fool, bore, or drama starter? i suppose that is up to the people i encounter.
my comment wasn’t to you but it was for you, and anyone else. most of my comments have no expectation that anyone will respond, i’m just pointing out, as i said, incorrect or flawed statements.
if you don’t like me, please block me.
thanks for the reminder! <3
bye
Are you a fool, a bore or a drama starter?

When someone tells who they are listen. That comment without elaboration is a long line troll. You took the bait.
