Like that CTABUK character

Use the Ignore button, or PM a moderator and show them the thread.

Flaming is unneccessary, it happens, I was involved in one not long ago, and the one thing that shuts those twits up is hard factual evidence.

I don't know whether or not I'd condone you do anything about it since what is rude and nasty to you may not be to me.

But if they bug you for whatever reason just ignore them. If you report them when they didn't break any forum rules then you are being at least as petty as you consider them to be.

Thanks

Ignor them because people like have sad little lives. They are either very unhappy, hate or dislike themselves, have low self esteem and need to feel 'powerful or a combination ot these.
I usually feel a little sad for them.

It took me way too long to learn this lesson (over 2 years here) but nothing
anybody says to you should make even the slightest impression unless it is
constructive criticism. And even at that, take it all with a grain of salt.

I'm a lot happier here now that I don't let things get to me.

It's not easy...but it's a much healthier way to live.

I usually ignore them, because it's just a waste of time to try and argue with those types of people. I figure what comes around, goes around, and they will get what's coming to them soon enough. I just sit back and watch.

I completely ignore them. We all come across &@*wholes every once in a while on the forum. I don't acknowledge ignorance and I won't play tit for tat with them. I skip their message and move on. This is the best way to deal with rude people. Never feed into their evil ways and you'll be just fine.

There are many more members here who are polite and willing to lend a helpful hand than those who are not.

Number one rule of posting on forums: you don't have to post...

There are times when I disagree with someone on forums, but why do I need to post? I don't.

When someone posts a nasty comment or gets personal, the other members will see it for what it is.

So how do you want the other members to think of you?

Thanks

You can debate a point if it's really important for the discussion to continue on, but for the most part it's better for you when you learn to detach from it. Yes, it may upset and you can deal with that in your own way (not in the thread)...but remember that just because something is written as a post doesn't make it true, and doesn't mean the people reading it believe that it is true either.

I haven't seen that much of the nastiness recently.

If they're just sitting with their panties in a wad wanting to gripe - I let them talk to themselves and simply ignore their post.

Sometimes a comment that seems rude is based on information not known to everyone. Previously banned scammers and spammers rejoin under a different name and when recognized they will get blasted. There is good reason as some of these people left owing members here money.

That's why it's a good idea not to jump in to defend someone - unless you know the person you are defending.

I would ignore them... most of them are either having a bad day and just looking to vent... or some are just trying to get a reaction. If you give them a reaction, then you're just putting fuel on the fire. Be the bigger person.

Ignore 'em. Or show up on their doorstep with a butcher knife. That REALLY scares them.
Depends on if it's worth fighting back on or not. Usually they aren't.

As I heard someone say: "What other people think of me is none of my business." 90% of the time when someone is being rude to me it's because of them so I don't take it personally or get negative about it. (Well sometimes I do most of the time I'm cool with it.)

Today a little old lady walked up to me and said:"Are you John? I know you ... You're a ****ing *******!" And I started laughing and said "That's not a very nice way to greet someone." (She was out of her tree.)

And when she realized that I wasn't that person she apologized and shook my hand. After I convinced her that I wasn't her Brother's cousin either. *Chuckle* Sometimes you just have to laugh. She was quite sweet really.

  I love it when people are rude - gives me a "legal" chance to sharpen my tongue and keep my logical processes in order. After all, a Warriors have to be good at sparring don't they? Actually, I am finding there aren't really too many rude people around and the ones who are excessive (anyone remember polymedia) aren't around for any length of time anyway. Excessive rudeness can be boring after a time.

1st. ignore them. 2nd. Don't take anything personally. Try to defuse them..listening.
Most important: Don't get angry...it creates a blockage within your mind/body/spirit that just drags you down...not them.

I ignore, not worth it to stoop to their level. I make a mental note (and the list grows daily) of the instigators....knowing who NOT to go to for advice....
It's rare, but once in a while I do chime in when they go over the line...just to keep them in check...
