Because my opponents do not recognize my values, they will not honor any effort I make to adhere to my values. Every concession to etiquette is seen as an admission of guilt, and used to coerce submission to the will of their mob.

I empathize with your situation, but why do you base your behavior on what your opponents think? Not everyone you interact with online is your opponent. And letting your opponents influence your behavior so much is a loss in itself, imo

I don't. Why should I base my behavior on what they might think?

You literally just told me that's exactly what you do!

So how do you think I'm going to square the circle?
