I wish more ppl would actively shape the culture of their Twitter threads. When someone's being obnoxious (using sarcasm, calling names, straw manning) tell them politely that's not okay. If they agree: Great! If instead they fire back w/more vitriol: Block 'em! (cont...)

I share that intuition. And there's another mechanism too: When people who favor some ideology X see obnoxious arguments against X, that entrenches them even more in X.
