I've learned to
simply dismiss posts that don't engage in discussion but rather personal judgement. Yes at first it was annoying, even insulting and offensive. Eventually the thought that posters here do not know me personally, don't know who I really am and what I am about came to the front of my thoughts. No matter how much some may think they know what motivates me, they don't - and I know it. Their posts prove it to me time and time again. So when we move from discussion to personal judgment and insult, I simply dismiss it and move on. There really is no point in trying to convince them that that is not who I am. And who are they anyway? Why do I have to defend or explain myself to them? I don't. To do so is to repeatedly give their opinion importance and as far as I am concerned it simply isn't. So if they want to discuss why I think what I do, fine - if they start with the fire and brimstone, you're going to hell, you think you can be god, etc., I won't even respond - I move on.
