    If someone walks up to you on the street and stabs you, do you engage them in reasonable conversation or do you run away/have them arrested?

    This is the internet version of that - there are some people you talk to, and some people you walk away from.

      I think most reasonable people would fight back. But I guess that requires some amount of spine that certain people cannot muster.

        Did you ever watch Back to The Future? Because I think you could learn a lot from Part III and the “he’s an arsehole” scene at the end. And from the scene with Needles and the rolls-royce.

            It’s not? Oh wow. I guess when someone told me I couldn’t simply walk into Mordor so I booked a plane ticket instead, they were not just using an analogy… wow I feel so dumb.
