Bullies, Haters & Abuse on MFP - How to deal with it.

As you all know MFP is FULL of idiots who post snide comments on peoples status, when the original poster just wants helpful comments.
Here's what you do - and you've heard it so many times.

IGNORE THEM!

Why?
Because they've actually gone out of their way to post a comment on your thread.
If someone posts something, no matter what, they want a reaction. And nobody can argue with that.
Simply don't give them that reaction.

They'll waste their time coming back to check if anyone replied to their comments only to find they've been totally ignored!
Of course there'll be other people like them giving them praise - but they're idiots!!

Simples! x

    OP you have a point but if you (or anyone else) see a thread that you think is being derailed, or posts that you consider rude or unnecessary then hit the report button and let the admin/moderators deal with it. Thats how to deal with it if you feel you cant ignore a comment or thread

    Topics like this, although started with the best of intentions, only cause more friction on the boards and end up being a moderation nightmare, so, for that reason I'm now locking this thread

    At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.
