The 3 Rules of The Twitter Game:
1) Post what benefits others more than you (feed people's minds, not your ego).
2) Positively reinforce good behavior: like/reply to thoughtful discussion
3) Negatively punish bad behavior: ignore trolls & those who debate to defend their egos

Absolutely, positively, resist troll bait:
Do not reply, correct, or counterargue people who clearly have no interest in learning, but just want to hammer their perspective home.
There are no winners of an online debate. Just losers.

4) Don't reply to comments on Twitter unless they're contributions (worth retweeting) or compliments (worth liking). https://twitter.com/DrSepah/status/1275229155014000640

Twitter gives people the superpower of @RayJ confidence when they debate online:
6) Feel free to generously delete tweets and replies. Some people say it looks weird, but conversations often devolve, so it's fine to extract yourself from them when they're not working out. Having old tweets auto-deleted is also smart as well.
