I have been on the verge of being an asshole here to someone for a few days. My feelings aren't hurt, the other person is probably mentally deranged, and while he seems to be an enormous asshole he is only being an asshole to me and it's of no consequence.

I just stumbled across this post through the previous post bar at the bottom of the page and it's exactly what I needed. I don't need to mute but I don't need to engage. There is no reason for me to be an asshole and I had lost site of that truth.

It's a good post. The work you did here paid off today and will likely pay continue to pay dividend for the hubski generations yet to come.

Thanks.
