I'm not leaving .. I have tougher skin than that!
And .. no foul mouthed, snot nosed punks are going to run me off!!!!
Besides .. people .. we have to stop taking it personally .. AND .. nothing requires you to answer the post even if it sends you up the wall.
And .. we must remember that a lot of these people who come and drop bombs - come here specifically for that purpose. They drop their bomb (outrageous statements) and then they just sit back and watch us go ballistic.
It's a game they play - and I've seen them do this for 5 years or so. And .. when you respond - they call in their buddies and pile on in tag team fashion. DON'T BITE!
The way to fight them is to do 1 of 3 things (or all 3 if you have to):
First: Don't answer them. Ignore their post. I saw this on a thread the other day - right in the middle of the thread was this over the top comment. None of us even acknowledged that the poster was even there. Guess what - no other posters came to join in the attack (there's a clue here).
Second: Laugh at them - by using ROTFLOL - that's all - no other comment - no bad language - nothing. It absolutely catches them off guard. Then - ignore them. Actually - it drives them crazy and they will say the most outrageous things just to get you to respond. DON'T!
Third: If they use bad language or call you names - report them. I never hesitate - and I SIGN IT - finally the word will get around - don't mess with them - they report you. Refuse to respond to foul language.
Remember .. a lot of these really old timers who do the attacking are from the Pat Buchanan and McCain groups. They are frustrated because they have no political power - they don't agree with NORMAL conservatives - so they just like to pick fights for amusement.
Time for us to act like the adults we are and not allow idiots to run things.
I don't think idiots are running FR..
