(62,325 posts)someone is being being attacked, even if I don't like that person, I will do what I can to support that person and stop the bullies.
After that I can go back to disagreeing with the person, or ignoring them or whatever.
The problem for those who decide to chose to be nasty to other people is that EVEN IF they originally have a point, that point gets lost when THEIR behavior is worse than whatever they were upset about in the beginning.
A perfect example is how the Far Right loonies went after Clinton using his weakness wrt to women to do so. They became so vicious and nasty that even those who didn't like Clinton, ended up despising THEM more.
If they really thought that a president engaging in sexual activity with an intern was unacceptable, there were civil ways to handle that. Instead they revealed more about themselves than about him and ended up being despised by a majority of the people.
