I really, deeply wish everyone would make some collective effort to unlearn the passive argumentative nature we all learned from Twitter.

Everyone always treated posts like invitations to debate or argue every point.

We deserve better than this. We don’t have to do that.

@louie I personally enjoy debate so it’s hard to remember people typically don’t like their opinions being challenged. Thanks for the reminder because I needed it.

@johnpeden I love to argue too. http://lmnt.me/post/arguments.html But it's important to remember context. It's less about "being challenged" and more about mutual consent. Did the other person agree to have an argument or debate with you? If not, then... don't engage in one.

@louie good article! I think you’re spot on about the consent aspect of arguments and debates. Going to be keeping that in mind.
