Where do people get the energy for all the hatred and animosity that goes back and forth here? Aren't the other people here basically your people? The people that are on your team? Yet you act like, come the revolution these are the first people you would line up against the wall. I realize that human nature is that way and that history is full of examples of people turning first against the people with whom they have the most in common, but that is supposed to be a lesson to be learned from rather than an example to be followed.
You don't have to respond in the defensive/aggressive/hateful way you do because someone else provoked you. You provoke them or someone else and they provoke and you provoke and then, soon enough, you have 11 pages of self righteous hate that should embarrass you to look back on.
Instead of thinking about all the ways that you hate what someone said or just all the ways you hate that someone, think instead about what they are trying to say and what you have in common with them. Spend fifteen minutes thinking about what was said rather than trying to respond to as many separate posts as possible. If it isn't worth time to think about what someone wrote, move on to something worth consideration.
Or, hey, conflict is entertainment. Thoughtless is easier than thoughtful. Every fight needs to be fought. Hatred keeps you warm at night. Piss where you eat.
