13. Myself, I do not get overly upset with internet discussions

If I hadn't read the thread I would have responded "Almost every employer I ever worked for".

If I believe the person I'm having a discussion with is baiting, or just plain ignorant (I don't mean rude - I mean they don't know wtf they are talking about) then I stop responding.

I may banter back and forth for one or two posts, but then that's it for me.

I enter a thread where I see 2 or more going at it - even if I believe I have a contribution to make,

I just stay the heck away.

Life has enough stresses without engaging in fruitless arguments.
