I've definitely been having to keep reigns on those knee-jerk reactionary type responses, having migrated over here from Reddit in the past week. I tell myself: Take a moment, breathe. Do not engage the trolls. Be nice. Don't take it personally. This website or the things said on it don't constitute the entirety of your reality.

More importantly: if you've been misunderstood, explain yourself. If you feel insulted, say that you feel insulted. If the person meant to insult you, you know you can ignore each other peacefully. If they didn't, there's nothing to build friendship quite like working through a misunderstanding.
