Conversation Sanitization
In normal times there are idiots on the internet, That’s not a “judgment,” that’s a fact. The idiots are people who are bigoted, profane, become enraged if you disagree with them, are abusive. In these times, they seem to have multiplied.
You don’t provide respect for idiots by arguing with them. You can’t rationally argue with the irrational.
Unfriend them and forget it. Block them and ignore them. But stop trying to defend yourself or convince them of anything. Otherwise, you raise them to your level and give them credibility.
This is an age of sanitizer. Use it.
