 There is a difference between debating and arguing. Debating can be meaningful and exchanges ideas and opinions. Arguing is usually condescending, especially here, and leads to cruelty. I like to debate but hate getting into arguments. Some things shouldn’t even be up for debate but in this world, everything is it seems. 
 @64166093 yes I think I need to be better at realising that someone is trying to 'debate' something that should not be in question, and just walk away, or block them.
