Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

Why can’t people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

    People are soft skinned and live in bubbles. They think if they block everyone they disagree with they’ll find the perfect place, but it never ends

      I strongly agree and support everything you said.

      For example, I’m religious, and strict at that, but when I talk to an athiest, their atheism has no affect on my religious devotion. I can still talk to them about music groups, shows, current events, games, internet things, and leave God out of the conversation so we can connect as 2 people, show care for each other, and avoid mentioning subjects that we are on opposite ends.
