If you've got a user who you always butt heads with over a certain topic, you could try not always rehashing the same topic because by the third or fourth time you should know where it's gonna end. If you keep picking a fight with someone, you might kind of be a douche.

Like, let's say you and I disagree about eggs. We hash it out on 3 posts you put up. By the time I see a 4th post about a similar topic from you, I shouldn't need to reiterate everything I've already said or make the same arguments I've always made because we've been through it before. If I do, then I'm more concerned with blanketing you with my pedantic viewpoint than having a discussion.

I mean, go ahead, give a post a chance and give posters chances too. But you don't have to click every link in your feed. You don't have to pick a fight every time you see a comment you disagree with. There's a lot to be said for saying, "Nope, not worth it" and moving on. I think there's more value to strengthening your ability to do that, than removing any potential arguments from your view.
