I’m just middle aged and lost all energy for unproductive discussions. The second another poster posts something genuinely hostile, like “touch grass” kinda shit, I’m just done talking. Also if we’re six comments in and the other guy won’t even admit to being wrong to the thing he said on comment one, despite me doing twenty minutes of research to prove conclusively that he’s wrong, I don’t want to waste another second of my life on him.

I gotta have 10% of the “disengage” comments on this site.

    There’s also the issue where someone will write a multi paragraph response then add disengage at the end to ger the last word in

    That hasn’t been an issue for over a year. Doing that will - or at least was - grounds for a banning. I know because I’m the one that asked for the rule to be clarified so it didn’t work like that.
    There was some drama with some user who kept doing it, which was the motivation for the rule change/clarification.
