It rather depends on the person. Sometimes you can have a reasoned argument that can help your own viewpoint and is helpful and enjoyable for both parties. Other times characters are so objectionable, it is better to just ignore them or as a last resort block them.

Normally I just "walk away" from the debate, figuring okay, not worth fighting about. I do not block though, I figure maybe we will get on better in the future.
If it is someone I really do not care for and am trying to get them to block me, I just keep arguing til they block.
For deleting posts - the only ones I delete are my own threads or responses sometimes, like if I am embarrassed later or think the crap might hit the fan.

{@sumkindamunster] suppose it depends on the disagreement . if it is a genuine disagreement of opinion fair enough you cand accept that and agree to differ .if they are rude and aggresive this is when it becomes more dangerous . i think you have option try not to rise to this difficult as it is .just end the exchange of views there as to carry on will make it more antagonistic

@CabinFever Generalizing, stereotyping...maybe it is just people who are annoyed and don't have time for the INANE. It's as easy as that. Since when does labeling someone "woke" make you the cool kid on the block. Such little thoughts here.
@CopperCicada Hm, I don't totally agree with all of this.

I agree here. In addition, I like to challenge other's on their beliefs to see how strong they are. If all it takes is a few pointed questions and a snarky comment or two to throw you off and upset you...well...how strong are those beliefs then?

Don't agree. And in fact, if this is your sole purpose, you probably aren't going to have a good time. In my experience, this only serves to galvanize those opinions.
I see you have returned and unblocked me. It's nice to see you.
Hope you have a better experience this time around.
@LordShadowfire Well that should be enough reports to the admins for today. Thanks for stalking my profile, I am sure you will be gone soon after this little stunt.
