Sometimes, you just have to walk away!

When you run across one who wants to tear you down because your opinion or lifestyle is not in lockstep with theirs, or someone who puts words in your mouth saying that you "implied" things that you certainly did not, people who take your words and twist them, or people who want to sling insults because they are on such a high horse that they cannot be bothered to be mindful of their words and actions or see that maybe the world is not black and white.... Just walk away! That is all! Arguing only gives them ammo to attack further. Sometimes you just have to be the bigger person and not allow others with clear issues to ruin your attitude with their negativity.

I agree but its easier said than done.

I agree. I should have did that yesterday in a certain post that got locked. Everyone who didn't agree with my view took it as me attacking their view. It was bloody ridiculous and it also doesn't help that The Red Tide is in, so it makes me ever the more irritable.

That is so true. Deep breaths and serenity!

Sometimes I find the best reply is simply :"carry on!" and then never return to check for retaliation. If I don't go back and look I wont feel compelled to argue.
