Hot take, I think the "disengage" rule is good but I don't like the way we do it.
Saying "disengage" sounds like your commanding someone to disengage, which comes off as a final "fuck you!" It's basically a mod enforced way to have the last word. If we instead said "I'm disengaging" or "i want to cease this convo", idk something that had more to a tinge of humility to it I think it could come off better.
There's also the issue where someone will write a multi paragraph response then add disengage at the end to ger the last word in
There was a post a while ago where mods were saying not to do that but it isn't enforced
I've got someone banned for not respecting proper disengage etiquette, so it's definitely enforced when reported.
