About me: I love to learn new things that enrich my perspective of myself and of others... and life in general. I'm open minded and like to know other's opinions, But I quess thats just me...

We all know what an apology is; it's an expression of remorse or guilt over having said or done something that is acknowledged to be hurtful or damaging, and a request for forgiveness. But we also know it can be really hard to swallow our pride and say "I'm sorry." If you have a difficult time making amends for mistakes or repairing the effects of angry words or wrongful actions, and how to keep your dignity while being humble, and invite forgiveness with grace.

Avoiding Online Abuse : Dealing with Haters, Flamers, Trolls, Bullies, and Other Mean Posters

Rule #1 - DON'T ENGAGE!

For many people this is the hardest rule to follow. If someone puts up a post, a comment, or a reply that is inflammatory the best route is to not say anything. Mean posters want you to reply, so that is the last thing you should do. This doesn't mean you're without recourse, which takes us to our next rule.

Rule #2 - BLOCK USERS!

Most websites that allow users to comment on your posts also have a block user feature. The best reward for someone that is trying to start something with you is to block them. I have a no tolerance policy. I'm pretty clear on the difference between constructive criticism and someone that's launching an attack. And I don't believe in giving someone a chance to attack me twice.

Rule #3 - DELETE!

Most websites also allow you to delete comments. If someone posts an inflammatory comment, I block and then I delete their comment. Some people argue that this is a form of censorship. And you could also argue that in some way's I'm engaging the person by removing what they said. In my mind it's about teaching people how they're allowed to treat me. I'm standing up for myself, without giving them what they want.
