Argumentative people?

Depends. If they argue with reasonable, logical arguments and are willing to listen to & accept counter-arguments of the same nature without going berserk over being countered, I indulge them and see where the conversation will take us.
If, however, they immediately start throwing a hissy fit and respond with insolence, I simply ignore them & move on. Don't feed the trolls thing.

Sounds like what I do.
This 100%
That's how it is. I will make a first attempt if proves to be a bad choice on my part I don't even bother and move on.
Oh yeah, now that you mentioned it, what's up with that Karen thing? I've seen folks over at imgur memeing her to death, but what's the background? How did it all start? Is that her in the video, the original one that started it all?
lol I don't know why they named them Karen. I can't find anything on who picked that name. But this is what I found:
What exactly is a 'Karen' and where did the meme come from?
To many the Karen meme - and its male equivalent Ken - sums up a specific type of white privilege.

People have done that to me before. I just ignore them / maybe I'll tattle to the staff too.
Banned without warnings? I mean ppl can have a bad day sometimes and IMO should be given the opportunity to correct their mistakes
This is not concerning my own group but other groups I am a member of. When I see people being consistently argumentative, I block them so I don't have to see it.
Oh you mean the ignore functionality? Right, my bad. Thanks for clarifying!
I'm much of the same mind. Some members are extremely domineering with their opinions and have an inability to accept why others have a difference of opinions. So they'll get more and more belligerent and toxic as you consistently stand by what you said. I have little tolerance for people with that mindset where you're either with them or against them.
Exactly. That, I can't tolerate. It's just so annoying.
I used to be like that. I wanted everyone to be on board with this or that opinion I had and I realized that it was a very toxic and anti social quality. I realized not everyone is going to agree on the little things and that it's okay.
Really? Whoa. You just seem so chill from what I've seen of you around here.
Yeah, over the years I've learned to let go and not care as much. People will believe what they want.
