My, my, my,... such vitriol being bandied about today. I can feel the heat even with my laptop turned off. In the words of Rodney King,... "can't we all just... get along???

Seriously,.. I enjoy looking through the forum for the odd interesting topic and the like. But I feel like I'm reading exchanges between high school students with all this nonsense. There are always going to be people who like to start fires, and they thrive on getting others hooked and fanning the flames until there is one great conflagration with several parties involved.
You don't knock down a fire by pouring more gas on it. You take away the heat, the fire dies, you take away the fuel, the fire dies and you take away the oxygen, the fire is dead.
STOP responding, STOP even acknowledging. Once you've engaged yourself you've given control to the other person. They jiggle the bait and you fall for it, hook, line and sinker. We're all a little better than that.

Once they realize no one is taking the bait, they'll move on to another fishing hole, and isn't that better than letting them reel you in.
ok,.. that's enough fishing analogy. You get it, I hope.
