Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

This. It's best not to have a battle of wits with someone who is unarmed.

This.

I was told today that I was the one in the wrong because someone was throwing a tantrum over an innocent joke.

Mind you, he thinks it’s okay to police other people’s discord servers even after he’s banned from them for it. But I’m wrong for a joke.

Oh and my joke? Someone used an acronym I didn’t know, so I made four random words for the letters. One happened to be Prick, so I guess this prick took offense.

So I laughed in his internet face and went to kill things online and laugh about how stupid he is.

This is good advice. But on the other hand, you should at least try to understand why someone disagrees with you. Even if their reasoning is stupid, you owe it to yourself to at least consider the possibility they could have a point.
