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

[Mika A Epstein]

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
