I know I act out on occasion out of frustration more than anything. I've also made an active effort to either stay away or minimize the time I spend within topics with a comment section if I'm feeling especially combative. I'm not perfect, but I also don't think I'm alone in this. Learning how to control that shit and talk in a straight, non combative manner is a skill, I believe, would benefit EVERYONE. Part of the reason for where we are now is breakdown in communication. THEY are our biggest recruiter, never forget that. The people coming to us after awakening from THEM aren't necessarily of information that is long past in research for many of us, and I'm sure most at least try to answer. But it can be frustrating being asked the same questions repeatedly. In one way it's not what people want to be doing, answering the same questions all the time. In another way, I've learned, as frustrating as it is, the more it happens the more it means we are winning. With everything else happening there can be times when things seem hopeless, when the smoke and mirror act from BOTH sides are at their peak, I personally withdraw temporarily until I can find the actual facts. Again, I'm not fucking perfect, nor do I want to be, life really would be dull if I was, but I do fuck up and argue in the heat of the moment on shit I should have dwelt more on. On the up side, less people get to experience asshole me. On the downside, I know full well I'll continue to fail to catch myself. I can only hope to reduce such interactions further.
