I have had more than the usual serving of flack directed at me on here.

I have never reported any of it because it needed to stay on show so that the perpetrator's personality could remain on show - the good, bad and the downright ugly!

How else would you learn who to avoid and who to be empathic with?

When the flack began I too was upset and used the ignore feature, which gave some respite whilst I reviewed my attitude towards the people who did it.

Now I see the flack for what it is - their natural defensive reaction attempting to maintain their lifetime conditioned way of thinking.
