The fact that you remained cordial throughout the entire conversation is commendable. That "mod" is horrendous at his "job" and should be removed from power everywhere for exhibiting that kind of unacceptable behavior.

It can be a strain at times, but the key is to take a step back and ask yourself if it's really worth it getting emotionally invested in some idiot's opinion on a random website. There are idiots everywhere in life, and you alone are responsible for how you let yourself react.
Besides, there've been times when I've gone into a conversation like that with one very clear impression and, because I didn't escalate the situation, ended up having a real discussion and leaving with new information and/or my mind changed. Reddit would be a far better place if everyone tried doing that.
You're absolutely right. People have a bad habit of getting defensive and allowing their emotions to take control. I'm guilty of this from time to time, and I realize I'd be a better person if I approached all situations like you did with that mod.
