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

    also, sometimes i consider what i’m responding to even after hitting the send button, and may have more to say. i find that editing is less-than-reliable as a means to make sure statements are seen. making a separate reply is simply practical in many circumstances.
