Nerd fighters fight bullies. They literally combat bullies in school.

So, would this person: upvote a flat earth post, just because they want to be nice? Post a snarky rebuttal to it? Post an educational, facts-only rebuttal to it? Jump in the comments and say “quit calling this guy a moron- he’s a person too.” Or just say, “I’m staying away from this whole mess.”?
