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

    Chat, debate and speak freely but without malice or bad faith. Be honest but not unkind. Never attack the other person.

    If the other person is unfair, unkind it just rude … just stop and move on. There are hundreds, thousands, millions of people to connect with online. Don’t get hung up on one person that doesn’t make you feel good or is unlikeable … move on.

    Some individuals just go online to fight or be disagreeable and nothing you say will ever make them happy … sometimes what makes them happy is your unhappiness.

    So when you run into someone that doesn’t make you feel good online … move on.
