If you participate in a group or read a post that is offensive to you, you have the power to walk away by turning the page.

Some bloggers enjoy creating chaos and the more attention you give them, the more they enjoy it.

Recognize that you engaging in a cyber war with the blogger that has offended you, will only cause you to cope with the residual effects of a cyber war - rapid heart rate, angst, frustration and a whole lot of other negative emotions that you must now cope with.

I can guarantee that the one who is pushing your buttons doesn't have to cope with this and more than likely enjoys this negative whirlwind and plays the victim to the max.

The point is...you have the power to engage in this behavior or not.

Recognize what your limitations are (whether it is emotionally worth it for you 'discuss' the issue at hand in order to 'change' a blogger's opinion) and weigh your options before you set out to respond.

Easy words for me I know and in practice, it is difficult to do.

Moving forward and all of that...
