personal life etc I know this is a waste of time but I ll go ahead I was talking to everyone This spat is bullshit As for you personally then here goes You seem to think that fighting back is what somehow the correct thing to do But it is not for several reasons First you seem to have made I don t tolerate fools some sort of personal motto That motto is purely based on pride not on cool reason or cold calculation or on a long sighted view toward victory The fact is this there are two types of enemies empty headed fools and wise snakes I am not assigning any individual editor to any category The way to deal with empty headed fools has three steps ignore them ignore them and ignore them If they push themselves to the fore where they can t be ignored then deal with them as firmly but calmly as you would a child who is throwing a harmless tantrum others will rally around you when you do so and you score fucking huge style points by remaining calm Wise snakes are an entirely different matter but tactical bickering still is not the way to go see below The second reason is this Every time you you personally Malleus engage your enemies they always win in the long run whether or not you prevail in the short run simply because you have engaged It is a war of attrition Each spat inevitably brings you closer and closer to burnout another possibility is that that each spat in which you let them prod you into saying fuck you or cunt or whatever brings you closer to actually being site banned some day in the far flung future Either way they win you lose because you have let them employ your pride as a pool against you Can t you see that winning in the short run by engaging in and trying to prevail in some tactical engagement spat is inevitably driving you to lose in the long run There is only one path to victory for you and it is paved with reason and calm demeanor and the signposts say never never never engage your enemy Take the long run view That s all Go ahead and be angry Good luck in all you do OneKnowsAutumn
