1. You don't know if the person you are arguing with is a scientist or a 12 year old kid trolling you.
2. It often results in online bullying and mobs, when people usually lack 95% of the context. Being in an online mob to insult someone because of a moral cause just makes you a bully. You are not better than the person you are trying to tear down.
3. You are not actually get anyone to agree with you by arguing with them online.
4. Even if you "win" an argument on the internet, what exactly do you get? The prize of spending an entire day mad and looking at your phone?
I have done this as much as everyone, and it's the reason I got off of twitter and just visit subreddits and forums like this. Stop taking the internet so seriously. You'll enjoy your life more

Stick to saying things online you are willing to say to someone's face is my rule.

You are not better than the person you are trying to tear down. I... really, really don't believe that. Like, not even slightly. If someone's spouting hateful shit they deserve to be put on blast for it and you're not as bad as they are for making sure it happens. And a lot of the time you don't at all need context. |

Nothing bad can possibly come from from letting wrongheaded opinions go unchallenged and leaving hatred and ignorance to fester... Oh wait.

I really appreciate it when I say something and somebody tells me why it's wrong, rather than just dogpiling on and screaming about how ignorant I am. The latter literally doesn't help anybody.It's just noise for the sake of noise.

I remember teachers saying almost the exact same thing in Elementary. If you don't accept a Bully's forced, insincere apology then you're just as bad as they are. Thought it was bullshit back then too. |
