I just do what I feel like. And my feelings are generally in line with my previous experiences with the other person. If I feel like they’re a reasonable person and generally nice then I feel like giving them the benefit of the doubt, if I feel like they’re a total toss-pot then I’m liable to fire back at them. There’s so much cached thought that’s felt rather than verbalised at that point that it’s pretty much a reaction.
