You should check if there are medical clowns in your area. They have a whole praxis of drawing attention to themselves in order to defuse situations.

One time, when I was clowning jn an ER, a woman with her mother (patient) exclaimed to us "you wouldn't be laughing if you were wanting for so long!"

"oh, you're waiting for a doctor?"

"yes!"

"oh! what's his name well get him! and breath the shit out of him! "

"..."

"you don't know his name?!"

in which hilarity ensued. but the point is thst ou can hyper address things in a way that defuses things. and I think you'll enjoy hearing stories like this.

How do you determine if the parties are indeed acting in good faith? My assumption/observation is that the vast majority of online arguments do not consist of 2 people that are arguing in good faith

if not, you should watch season 2. i think youd really enjoy an experiment he conducts (sorry, not trying to spoil it lol)
