Ignoring Belittling & Distasteful Posting Habits
It is important that you ignore posts that are insulting, contain flame, or are otherwise distasteful. Replying to these posts are just as bad as the initial posts themselves, ignore these posts. Now I understand how hard it is to ignore these posts, I truly do. There have been many cases in which I was being targeted for a troll, was flamed, etc, but you have to learn to ignore such posts and messages. There are a few things I remind myself of whenever I receive any flame or posts directed towards me.
The first thing I remember, and this is the "Golden Rule" of receiving flame: everyone is entitled to their own opinions and interpretation, and it is their choice to act upon these opinions and interpretations, regardless of if they are right or wrong; I remember this and I do not judge them for their actions.
Secondly, I remember that in the end, I choose how large the flame will get. They are looking to get a reaction from you, and so it is your job to not give them this satisfaction. If you give them a response, you are going to worsen the flame, and you truthfully do not want this. Don't even give them a calm reply, it's not worth your time to respond to their negativity.
Thirdly, I remember that in the end, I am the better person. They're the lesser person for stooping so low as to insult and belittle others. Last but not least, I remember that they are people too. We all have feelings, regardless of how cruel the person flaming you is, there are feelings deep down underneath. Try and remember this. Don't jump the gun and go to hate, simply brush it off and know that they too are human.
