Please do be that person when your interlocutor deserves it

It takes much bigger balls to do that and people with respect you for it

I find that using this kind of language can be very effective in disarming online arguments that are becoming aggressive.

It’s a shame that some people view it as a weakness. We’d probably be traveling through space at warp 9 right now if others would use this kind of language.

Yes, it's not always effective, but it's nice when it does work.

You know you have a good conversation partner if they're willing to agree on some points🤗

I enjoy it when I talk to someone and they make a counter argument that I can agree with. Sure, validation is cool — but have you ever changed your minds and grown as a person?
