My feeling about today's internet fight:
Page 103 of the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: "52. You are not compelled to form any opinion about this matter before you, nor to disturb your peace of mind at all. Things in themselves have no power to extort a verdict from you." The page is stamped in red: "Marcus Aurelius has already released you from the obligation to have a take".
