6. Don't let them win
Thu Feb 20, 2014, 08:10 PM
Feb 2014

Don't leave us. Trash the group. Put them on ignore. Then let them off when you get curious as I did. I try to be civil and comment to them if I happen to agree. But I'm afraid of being banned so I try not to instigate quarrels even when I disagree. So I stay out of their way.

I picture them in a boiler room working for Glenn Beck pushing right wing talking points and values to try and drive male and female liberals from the board. If you have ever read the troll tactics that are published to warn of the methods of disruption, you can note that they delight in seeing posters banned and causing anger and frustration in the members. They thrive on making us fight each other.

Talk to me by du mail if you need to vent.
