May 11, 2021 at 0:53 comment added Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style +1 about needing to disengage as that is the main point, no need to go back and forth on someone else's answer with comments. I also agree it was uncalled for based on the detail disclosed. I learned this the hard way too though, you have no moderator leverage in your favor if you are commenting on someone else's post and not your own and they report you for harassment.
Nov 20, 2020 at 18:30 comment added Tetsujin @Coldblackice - it was already a flag fight. His comments had already been flagged & deleted. I had incorrectly assumed that would be the end of it. My less-than-patient comment above was approximately comment 12 on that thread.
Nov 20, 2020 at 11:31 comment added Coldblackice @Ramhound I can also understand. All I'm saying is that giving in to triggering, at best, changes no one's mind; at worst, it escalates, further derailing OP, sacrifices screen space, and expends mental energy, participant or not. Tetsujin didn't initiate, but his emotional response, particularly Shut up, threw gas on it, and no surprise, it leveled up into a flag fight. Not to defend the other guy. Your comment above put it well, for everyone: You do X, and then you move on. Whether that's ignoring the instigator or calling for a mod, anything will be better than adding gas.
Nov 19, 2020 at 13:43 comment added Ramhound @Coldblackice - Tetsujin actions certainly were not perfect in this situation (i.e. Jeezus f christ), but given my own interactions with the user, I can understand their frustrations. I certainly can understand, literally throwing my arms up in the air in frustration, the user frustrated me, and I only had a brief interaction with them.
Nov 19, 2020 at 3:25 comment added Coldblackice I agree. To be fair, however, Tetsujin didn't exactly display mature, exemplary behavior either with his rage retorts. Emotional commentary like that just throws gasoline on interactions like these, interactions which could have been defused had calm/coolness prevailed.
