I can no longer argue about anything on the internet

Yeah I avoid a lot of trouble that way. And yet, I still have that urge to get into argument whenever I feel someone is being overtly hostile while stating something wrong. Except that unlike the younger me, once I'm in there, I feel SO STRESSED. Like I have to be ready for the moment the other person answers. The moment I send something and I'm waiting for them to reply, that's when I feel terrible.

It's so weird. Isn't the internet supposed to be the place where people feel safe and confident enough to spout the worst shit to total strangers ?

I'm sorry for the rambling. I'm actually already following your advice, but since sometimes I don't have much of a choice ... in this case, the troll came up to me in my own thread for example. I didn't even want to start anything but I got forced into it. :/
