I’ve tried this before, but I usually end up breaking my word and getting sucked back into the argument lol. Nowadays the way I avoid these problems is by refusing to go anywhere near any place on the internet where people are talking about anything controversial! But yes, this is very good advice.
I understand, but I have to point out that you’ve kind of failed at that here. A number of aspects of the community are, in fact, controversial. This is, of course, bound to happen if you spend any significant time on a place where comments happen at all, especially when they have a norm where people plainly come to provide their own in-depth commentary.
