I still manage to greatly offend some.It would hard to be insulted with you, Revoltingest, since you are so funny with your sarcasm.
But thanx for the nicety!
A useful way to handle responses is to plan for the effect you'd like to have.
Options include: to hurt, to befriend, to educate, to ignore, to becalm, to avoid future drama, etc, etc.
I presume that you lean towards the positive ones.
The greatest success I've found is when I've converted a foe to a friend. But I've also enjoyed skewering those who offer no potential for reconciliation.
And there are some whom I just avoid most of the time, since discussions just turn bad or dull.
Always consider testy exchanges after they've happened, & consider how well they went for you, & how you could improve upon achieving your goals.
I've improved over the years....I was once far far worse than even now. Still a ways to go.
