I suppose that specifically I am wondering if there are any things you do to perhaps:

  1. stay calm
  2. calm the other person down
  3. get them to understand you better
  4. understand their point of view
  5. diffuse trolls
  6. just be a good person who wants to participate in a conversation that enhances your understanding of others, different cultures, and the world and how it works
