Noobs: You made a mistake, haha, gotcha! I win, you lose! Suck it, sucker! Friends: Was that a mistake? It’s interesting how we both things wrong in distinct ways, that reveal our underlying assumptions and allow us to come to a better understanding of ourselves. I appreciate u
Noobs: wow youre incredibly stupid, ffs, wtf is wrong with you? Astoundingly pathetic. Delete your account Friends: have u considered X? What are your thoughts on Y? When u say A, do you mean that if B happens, you would do C? Just trying to understand where you’re coming from
Noobs: wow you are so amazingly full of yourself. Who made you an authority on this? What the fuck do you know? Friends: I love how passionate you are about this! Here’s a related thing I saw once, maybe you’ll find it interesting too? Eager to see where you go with all of this!
Noob-minus: this is the worst thing I have ever read Noob-plus: this is the best thing I have ever read Friends: you’re on to something here! I really liked the part where you talked about X, it made me think about Y. I was kinda hoping for more about Z, but that’s just my POV

There is an art to replying and commenting, and probably like 60-70% of people I’ve seen on the internet fail at it. The important thing is not to speak your mind, but to “support” the OP. You can support them by disagreeing well & you can “mis-support” them by agreeing stupidly
