Usually I spend 5 minutes typing out an angry reply. Then I realize I have no interest in hearing back from this person, hit cancel and move on with my day.

Yeah, I've been there. Halfway through typing a reply I usually realize, the most likely outcome of this is more bad faith arguments and more frustration.

I will sometimes just leave a purely factual reply or a link, and not respond further if they want to debate it or move the goalposts.
