I think we all read things online with which we vehemently disagree (and, yes, find offensive).

The question is, when a person encounters such thoughts and beliefs...

Will they engage the person (whom they're critiquing) in good-faith conversation, to try to actually learn, symbiotically?

Or will they simply fling insults at the person, and then stomp away like babies?

I try to keep myself grounded in the first category.
