Hi Brian,
What I am trying to convey in this blog post is that one doesn’t need to get roped into a heated battle with an internet troll or anyone posting abuse. Yes, the last time this happened to me was when I posted a web article that criticized the President Elect’s behavior and an angry Trump fan with a username like “LiberalDestroyer” tried over and over to insult me and push my buttons. I took the bate at first by responding sarcastically but not insulting back. Then I told him he was cute when he’s angry. Nope. Didn’t work. That wasn’t the answer he wanted. Finally I wrote something like “You are clearly a wonderful person and I wish you nothing but the best.” And he stopped. He even wished me the best back. So yes, that was a reference to Trump, some of his supporters who are trolls, and their bad behavior on the internet. But trolls come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Best to avoid.

Thanks Anastasia! So glad the post resonated with you. It’s not always easy taking the high road but it’s the better choice. Wishing you all the best for the year ahead!
