What do you always try to avoid?

Where possible I will always avoid confrontation.
Not that I steer away from controversial topics, but if the discussion turns nasty then I ignore those comments. One should be able to talk about controversial subjects without malice.

I don’t mind a bit of confrontation as long as there’s no actual violence. :grinning:

At times these are the types of conversations I enjoy very much. A difference of opinion, explaining why you feel strongly about a subject, is definitely welcomed in my world.

But…not if it’s an idea put out to deliberately rankle, do harm, or taunt one into a confrontation.

Conversations derived from both stupidity and arrogance. I also avoid those who seem to be part of a clique and not interested in the relevant conversation or topic, but purely see any thread as their own personal chat room – I have asked for threads to be deleted because of this.

Karaoke… some of my postie buddies (ha!) set me up in a bar on Brighton pier during a booze up many moons ago. I had to be a good sport and perform, the trauma stays with me to this very day!

This describes what I consider trolling. I try to avoid people doing that.

@Bretrick As someone who has always had to look antisemitism squarely in its evil face, confrontation is something I grew used to from an early age and therefore I deal with it as second nature. I do not run away from it and nor do I deliberately square up to it as usually each case is different and requires different approaches. To run away will please the aggressor and in most cases a confrontational and rational approach will put the agressor off guard and leave them open to your point of view.
