99.99% of internet arguments end up in a deadlock because one or both parties don't understand the biases and/or fallacies in their writing. The classic line "don't argue with an idiot" doesn't help if everyone is an idiot.

Don't let yourself get baited. If it seems like a conversation is getting derailed, just stop. Don't respond at all, just stop. Back in the day, there was a general understanding on the web that you oughtn't to feed trolls. 4chan is pretty much exclusively feeding trolls.
Also, sometimes you just have to take a break from this place. It really isn't what it used to be. Don't let momentum make you feel like you have to be here. I'll lurk the fuck out of this place before I can find a thread I feel is worth posting in.
