Take it from a guy who has been here a long time...don't let em get to you. I've grown a skin so thick over the years, nothing bothers me anymore. If you let em get to you, they win. I have found ignoring the idiots is easy, and you can even get in a snide remark before you destine them to your trash bin! I read what I want to read, and comment on what I want to. Leaving, or threats to leave are just about as annoying as the trolls...don't do it. Buckle down and fire back or simply eliminate the source of aggravation....easy!
