When a fellow blogger says " Screw you!" you say sweetly " Left, or right hand thread?"

I agree Quirky!
Although sometimes I feel like I am at the extreme opposite end when it comes to fighting. Oh well..I like it that way! Great post!

Smart woman you are, Quirky....
Like I told Lends in my comment, "Where were you when I needed you today?!" I told off my bully anut who was picking on my mother and she tore my head off. I have PMS today, so you can probably assume I won the in the end, ripping her entire being away. I feel miserable. And I can't take it back....It's best to eat shit and swallow it. With some people, you just can't win......Like I told Lens, don't piss with an elephant. The elephant will always out-piss you.....

What a wonderful post. This is something we all need to work on. Forgiveness can be difficult to achieve in the best of circumstances. It takes extra hard work and faith in one's self worth to achieve it when someone does not offer themselves up for it.

While kicking back often is the first impulse, your suggested methods are preferable, by far. I could say more. Maybe I'll just post instead, based on this post of yours

I had my first...bloggit rejection recently and I was shocked. "kill them with kindness' does work...to a ceratin point....THEY WONT DIE! kidding. However..if I have wounded some one I ask forgiveness and then I move on because I don't want to hang around hate waiting for it to die...to much negativity...you know?

Quirky,
About all you can do is treat them with kindness; ignore them; or get crucial with blocking them and delete their nasty comments. I opt for kindness and forgiveness. At least try that route first as it generally works. I've got a empty block zone. Shadow

There ARE times when you know that an attacker wants nothing more than to fuel his own flame with a response, intent on setting the stage for yet another attack. There is no need to dignify such an outraged mean attack with a response, even as in one's own heart, you forgive.

Retaliation is to be out of step with my integrity. I'm with you Quirk... kill 'em with kindness. I need the challenge of conflict. It's the only way the Universe has of testing me. Am I walking my talk or just paying lip service? Integrity isn't selective or it doesn't really exist. Sandi :o)

Ignoring them is an option I suppose...but it doesn't produce the same lightness of being that comes from true forgiveness.

Quirks,
Aaaah, FORGIVENESS !!!!!!! You're absolutely right !!! Several years ago, when I was having troubles with someone, my mom AND a trusted friend both advised me to pray for them and think loving thoughts for them. Well, I'll be darned if it didn't work !!!!!!! Never had any more troubles from that one........
to you, you're a great gal, Quirky !!!!!!!

We are respnsible for out own actions, but we are not responsible for other people's reactions.
Just ignore them, I say
