Reply #268: Very tired of it....

Dear Skinner,

Good question.

My anger tends to be directed at people that I fear may be professional trolls. However even with these peeps I try not to be hateful. Hate tends to hurt the hater more than the hated in my experience.

Sometimes when I feel pissed at people I let rip and then my posts sometimes get deleted. At this point I tend to realise its time to take a break... and then my anger subsides.

FWIW I do not think DU is full of hate. It is full of competing opinions and views and that is what makes it so good. That people feel pasionate about these views to the point of hate is also a good thing in general.

If you find there are people criticising your creation on this count then IMHO they are fools, and most probably threatened by the very real freedom of expression that is generally allowed around here.

And finally. These are exceptional times. People are bound to get fractious in these circumstances.
