I find the trick with trolls is to remember that your anger only makes them happier. So the worst thing you can do to them is really not care. Even if you start out just pretending, eventually you’ll really genuinely not care…. Whether Gyno-Star ever grasps that lesson remains to be seen, though.
After years of writing for and then leading LezGetReal I learned that the best way to handle trolls is to be like the water in a stream. Do not be angry even as you reply. Let the anger flow through you. Control it.
Great…I’m starting to sound like Obi-Wan Kenobi here, aren’t I?
‘Be like the Buddha: “You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.”’
I don’t know how i’ve never heard this phrase before but it is wonderful. This sentiment is exactly what helped me let go of my anger, as all it ever did was punish me.
A successful dodge. She’s probably using all her willpower to not hit the crazy lady right now.

Stay-at-home mommy is good at this. I wonder who she practiced with.
The roombot?
Seriously been so fun to read their ongoing battle!
MUST… RESIST… JUSTIFIABLE RAGE!!!!
Resist! Or better yet, let it go. Be like the Buddha: “You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.”
Thanks you guys! I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Poor inarticulate gynostar…
