(907 posts)The best approach, in my opinion, is to avoid them. Don't let them get you down.
I've had PM exchanges with a few of the DU members. I've been impressed. I've encountered individuals who are truly decent and heroic. Like I said, don't let the b******s get you down.

(53 posts)I am in agreement with many of the threads but not with all of them. I see racism bigotry and hypocritical slurs of all kinds, not all of that is directed at me, mostly I got my ass kicked by homophobes. That kind of thing makes you want to look over your shoulder especially online. An opinion isn't supposed to have a deadly consequence. A friend from the old days told me she lost a job because the wrong people were liked on her fb page.
