Trolls!!

[ArchieG]

Will ignore as your comment is irrelevant based on personal politics and prejudice and is too painful for you to answer my question. It is called Cognitive Dissonance

Now how about answering my question for the third time of asking?

Remember that you overstepped the mark and let your mask slip. Yes you've managed to get your comments deleted but some of us will never unsee them!

Someone asked Chat GPT - What is the most effective way to engage with another person online who you disagree with?

Engaging with someone online who you disagree with can be challenging, but it is possible to have constructive and meaningful conversations. Here are some tips for effectively engaging with others in online discussions:

Be respectful: Treat the other person with respect and courtesy, even if you disagree with their viewpoint. Avoid using inflammatory language, personal attacks, or derogatory comments, as these can escalate tensions and hinder productive dialogue.

Stay calm and composed: Emotions can run high in online debates, but it's important to remain calm and composed. Try not to take disagreements personally and avoid reacting impulsively to provocative statements.

Focus on common ground: Start by identifying areas of agreement or shared values, and use these as a foundation for exploring your differences. This approach can help to create a more collaborative and cooperative atmosphere.

Use evidence and logic: Present well-reasoned arguments supported by reliable sources, data, or examples. This can help to establish credibility and encourage the other person to consider your perspective.

Ask open-ended questions: Encourage the other person to share their thoughts and feelings by asking open-ended questions. This can help to promote understanding and demonstrate your willingness to engage in a genuine conversation.

Be empathetic: Try to understand the other person's perspective and emotions, even if you don't agree with them. Expressing empathy can help to build rapport and foster a more positive environment for discussion.

Be open to learning: Approach the conversation with a willingness to learn from the other person and consider new perspectives. Acknowledge when the other person makes a valid point and be open to revising your own beliefs if necessary.

Know when to disengage: Recognize when a conversation is no longer productive or has become overly contentious. It's sometimes better to end the conversation respectfully rather than continue arguing in a hostile or unproductive manner.

By adopting these strategies, you can increase the chances of having constructive and meaningful conversations with people you disagree with online. Remember that patience, empathy, and open-mindedness are essential for fostering understanding and bridging divides.

Perhaps. But do remember that redlen overstepped the mark and let his mask slip. He managed to get his comments deleted but some of us will never unsee them. That is the truth.

[redlen]

The truth according to you and your own vitriolic juvenile comments and personal prejudice with repeated personal attacks?

As far as I can see it is not me doing the negative comments and running away from objective questions that go against a persons own beliefs when challenged.

So you're a relativist too? Amazing.

[redlen]

Now what did i say about vitriolic juvenile comments and personal prejudice with repeated personal attacks?

Might I suggest counselling to get rid of all that pent up frustration??

It is not healthy your anger issues

I'm not getting at anyone in particular. I just thought it was funny, considering the nature of some of the discussions we get here, especially when this thread is about trolls, who shouldn't really get the oxygen of the attention they seem to need.

As someone else has said, redlen, the game is up.
You lose.

Fair point!

Final word from me:

There’s some newish posters on here I would bet are from lse.co.uk a share chat forum, have a read on there (IDS board) and see what they think about us. Most of its comical like some of the rubbish posted on here these days.

Chill people.

Just chill.

[DonkeyOT]

Chill people.

Just chill.

Indeed. I have perhaps unwisely engaged with redlen. I think now though that we can be pretty certain that he has been beaten at his own game. His insulting behaviour and hideous comment about being just a postman (postwowan, my case, lenny...), says everything. The game is up and he has lost, thanks to people not standing for his juvenile yet carefully crafted trolling. So yes let's chill and move forward.
