True. This place has had a huge impact on me not reacting emotionally to words, opinions, statements I don't like. I try to reduce them simply to possible comms, while not ignoring the surface meaning conveyed. So often HERE, a seemingly nasty response is only phrased that way because it's suitable in conveying something more/makes us less of an easy target. Plausible deniability/daze-and-confuse potential onlookers who don't need/can't comprehend that yet. But it's still very easy to want to fire back "you're wrong/delusional" at these people. That achieves WORSE than nothing.
