   Never forget to ask yourself "does this person know who the fuck I am?" -- really think about it, put yourself in their shoes. Would *you* give a shit what *you* think if you were them?

   If you cannot STAND the fact that they are wrong, you should use the mute feature.

   If this feels like an invitation for you to disagree with me about this, then PLEASE use the block feature instead! 🙏 (update: ...to block me, I want you to block me.)

     I see it as valuable and useful if someone respectfully corrects me or disagrees with me, unknown or not, both in real life and online.

     Sometimes it may be the point of a conversation for me, to exchange different opinions, to get to know the other person through that, and to learn from corrections of things I got wrong before. I am grateful for this.

     I read your suggestion to instead block you, but I don't see why I would want to block you, or anyone else for that matter.

     I, for one, as a scientist and lifetime learner, appreciate opportunities to learn and to share knowledge, and it matters not at all who the person sharing the knowledge is. networking is about cross-pollination and bursting bubbles, not locking ourselves into mutually-reinforced ignorance
