[wp-forums] Flame Baiting - Is it Ruled Out?

[Keith Messinger]

It is hard not to reply but just like the posts that multiple users post to,
I just try to ignore them and let them swim in their own black water.
Sometimes I do lose it but generally that is either before my coffee or
after too many martinis.

There's also the 'don't feed the trolls' rule ;) When people lose their
minds, it's time to walk away. You just can't reason with them at a certain
point, and if they come back with name calling, it's best to step away and
post here for help ;) Sometimes having a different person step in with an
answer works better than keeping with it. That's why we're a team :D
