I will defend someone who says something I don’t agree with, if they’re being respectful and willing to admit they are wrong or open to changing their mind. I won’t defend someone saying something I think is right or I totally agree with, if they’re being a jackass about it. I’ve seen threads where both things happen consecutively, and they both get downvoted anyway 😅.

I don’t care if someone is rude. I care if they’re willing to discuss in good faith. Someone being nice to me on here but seems to be manipulative is far worse in my view than someone who is aggressive and nasty but intellectually honest.

Maybe you can just agree to disagree expecting people to just admit their wrong and agree with you is… going to cause you a lot of trouble in life. Especially if it’s about opinions, opinions aren’t actually objective. Unless the person is way out in left field just agree to disagree, even then you’re probably better off just walking away from the conversation

passive aggressive comments, aka snarky comments, know it all, or'holier than thou" ones will recieve a block, dont have time to get angry or argue with someone.
