Try not to take posts personally. There is no need for indignation.
If you think you're being attacked personally, try this tactic - don't
stoop to their level, rise above it, gets your facts, present your case.
There really is no need for counter attacks. (Truly the 'attacks' are
a matter of perception anyway). When I read a defensive post from a perceived
attack, I realize what's going on and how sensitive individuals may have taken
offense. I've been on the list long enough now to know who's going to
respond defensively and who will take it objectively before I see the
response! It would be humorous if it weren't so unnecessary.
I could never gather the kind of information on my own that I am gleaning
from this group. I thank you all for the worthwhile contributions; I have
learned so much and hope to continue learning. Indignation may risk the
loss of these valuable resources.
Thanks for listening.
