@areyouevenreal It would require large amounts of energy spent on patience and understanding, of which most people think it's a waste. Many of them _demand_ tolerance in an extremely intolerant way.
I do not have the solution for them.
Mine is patience, listening, and smiling when they call me names before banning, thinking that a problem they have will go away by shutting down other voices.
And I assert my views, indeed. Maybe often impolite way. They are always free not to listen.
