How to deal with people who are just trying to bait you?

Robert Murphy8 said:Just get lost and go deal with your own baggage somewhere else, you miserable amateur.

Resorting to insults and profanity is usually the last refuge of someone who lacks any intelligent defense or valid arguments to support their claims. You're acting like a petulant teenager.

Seriously, lady, take a look in the mirror—it's pretty obvious who the one with issues is here.
Do terms like ego mechanisms, projection, negation, regression, or repression mean anything to you at all?

Forget the ban, just let her be. She actually made my night. I was laughing so hard.
For real though, she should have been banned from the delivery room. Straight up.😬

Susan Harris89 said:I used to harbor those very same notions myself. However, I eventually discovered the profound utility of the ignore button 🙂

I get that, but ignoring someone doesn't actually point out how dense or moronic they're being. This way, you do. He needs to be made aware that he's nothing more than a tiny little worm.

Alright, I’ve finally calmed down.

Robert Murphy8 said:No. My rule is simple: ignore someone if they take a shot at you once or twice. But when they start stalking you across the entire forum like some obsessed lunatic just to talk trash? That’s when you snap back and tell them to get lost. She wants to call me a troll? She should probably go take a good look in the mirror first to see what an actual troll looks like.🤣
I’m not about to sit here wasting smart takes while a few degenerates use my posts as a punching bag. They're going to feel the heat eventually.

troll😬

Is someone seriously messing with me right now?
I’m starting to get these flashes from my time at the psychiatric ward.
It’s absolutely maddening. 😕

I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks.

Honestly, I feel the exact same way after reading every single post by Robert Murphy8. Welcome to the club.

@Henry Garcia10: I just wanted to ask 😕 , have you and Robert Murphy8 been messing with us all along, or was everything she said above her actual, honest opinion?

Look, we know each other—it’s all just banter. What do you mean "genuine opinion"? Is it bad? Yeah, it is. She already told me about her track record with a revolving door of guys. A total disaster.
I’m honestly surprised I haven't been banned yet. I’ve insulted enough people here to warrant a permanent lockout, it's ridiculous. These moderators are way too patient.

I saw her posts for the first time a few days ago. I've been away for a while, honestly. But I have no clue who she is. Some kind of clone, perhaps.

A troll? A clone? Come on, you can do better than that. What kind of insults are those? They're practically preschool level. Who am I even talking to here? This is just my own masochism acting up after a breakup.

Maybe now she would be.

scarms, check your PMs.

Thank God! You people have already exhausted me. I’ve been on this site for two months and haven't heard a single intelligent thought or anything remotely useful for my life... so... it's just a total waste of time for me here. If only I could actually resolve some complex or frustration instead.

I’ve arrived. I’ve seen it. I’ve read it.

@ljupka11: But why do you assume everyone who talks to you is just trying to get a rise out of you? For instance, that wasn't my intention at all; I was simply trying to point out that you might be getting a little paranoid about people looking for a fight.

Trolls are everywhere, man. Everywhere.

So, she said it herself. She showed up here about two months ago just to test the waters and see how much she could get away with. Honestly? Based on everything I've seen, she can handle quite a bit.😬

Bye bye boldeagle3 - I had a feeling you’d be hitting the floor pretty quickly once this thread went live 👋

All she knows how to do is insult everyone who can actually handle criticism like an adult. She’s just precious, isn't she? I used to think she was just dim, but now... man, she's evolved. Those intellectual rebuttals... honestly, they are fascinating. :hail: 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 rofl: Look, you actually have a purpose in life after all. You're quite the specimen—a caricature, even. Keep at it, girl! Bravo, bravo!

Man, I need to stop reading her threads. I feel like I'm sinking too low. Now I'm feeling a bit guilty, even though I don't think I said anything wrong. But honestly, this is probably an argument worth just ignoring for everyone's sake. I like myself too much.😘

Ugh, tell me about it... I deal with that all the time. Thank God I have enough self-control to hold back most of the time. 😍
