I’ve pretty much stayed away from this thread (my family has already exceeded my ability to cope with drama this month/year), but I’d also encourage people to consider that the affected persons have already had to deal with 476 comments when deciding whether authoring comment 477 is worth it.
If you’re in a disagreement with someone, it can be OK to say: “I respectfully disagree with that, but this topic has already taken so much time and caused so much angst that I am going to let you have the last word on this one and move on.” At this point in the discussion, I don’t think anyone should read any negative inferences into a decision to exercise good self-care and step back from further discussion.
