I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but here we are. If you get into a disagreement with someone here or for whatever reason the person you’re messaging with asks you to disengage, just stop. I’ve been around since the dawn of online arguments and I’ve never seen a person realize the error of their ways because someone was trolling and/or being an asshole to them in the replies. If someone asks you to stop, stop. If they block you, take a cue from Elsa and Let It Go. Don’t find alternate ways to continue engaging. I’m sure it the parting shot feels good, or you think you have the perfect reply to help them see the reality of a situation, but it isn’t so. Please, just stop and think: AITA in this situation?

@jerry I call that a "pissing contest." If nothing else take it to private messaging & don't get the family here involved. Worked for me on FreeRepublic since 2004. Why waste mental energy on dumb shits.

@HunDriverWidow @jerry no, if someone asks you to stop engaging taking it to private messages is exactly the wrong thing to do. Private messaging is by agreement of both parties.

@jerry I had a misunderstanding with a big twitter personality once. I hated that they took what I said different than I said it but ultimately they blocked me. And I *left it alone* because it is always someone’s choice whether or not to engage with me. It’s not a hard concept
