Inappropriate use of digital media

klaschool
I was recently having an online discussion with someone about guns, sharing my views and listening to theirs. When my opinioned differed from there's they suggested I was uninformed and uninteresting and I need to give better answers. This made me angry as I was sincerely trying to state my position and was open to their views, even tho it was different than mine. At that point I bowed out of the posting and said I was no longer willing to have the conversation, then it got even more ugly from that point. They continued to tell me I know nothing; I was rude etc...
I think it is sad that we can't have a conversation about different opinions without calling each other names.

Hard to set an example for kids when adults can't agree to disagree and somehow when we are on social media it is so much easier to start throwing out names, and slurs
