TooCleverByHalf··on Ask HN: How to be less argumentative online?
In the short time I've been applying this technique I've found my comments are either an attempt to add my own notes of clarification to the subject at hand or as a tool to help concrete a concept related to the subject; a sort of a repetitive reinforcement of the concept.

For me, at least, it's less a coping mechanism and more a mindset I've found to be more constructive both online and off.

TooCleverByHalf··on Ask HN: How to be less argumentative online?
I came across a comment on HN not too long ago that really resonated with me. The commenter mentioned that they do not comment to have a conversation with the OP. Instead, they treat commenting as writing notes about the topic at hand. Because of this, they don't expect responses or anticipate an argument (or even conversation). They mark down their thoughts and move on. It's been a really effective mindset for me thus far ad has shaped my responses for the better.
