I can see where you come from, but as a gay man, I would go crazy if I had to enter every homophobic encounter with an open mind.

Also, entering an argument might not change the other persons mind, but it might change the mind of bystanders

Most of the time when I get into an argument with someone on Lemmy (formerly Reddit) it was for the people who may read it more than the other person. The best outcome in those cases is civil disengagement, not changing their mind. But the goal is to reveal some faulty logic and dismiss some disinformation for random strangers.
