Same here. It taught me that it's productive to treat people with civility even when they're being jerks. I put that to use when working as a high school teacher. I also learned how to call out attempts to shift the goal posts of an argument. How to find the underlying thread of an argument. How to avoid being drawn into putting in more energy in than a person I'm arguing with.
