MODERATORS
As soon as someone starts engaging with me in a rude way online, I respond with one single "hey let's chill out" or "we can disagree peacefully" kind of comment. That gives them a chance to stop being confrontational.
If they burn that chance I either disengage or troll you into the abyss (depends by how much free time I have in that moment) because I know that arguing with angry people is useless.
