For sure, and my insomniac middle-of-the-night response there maybe showed a little rawness I didn’t quite realize I was feeling. That said, I’m also tired of responding to people behaving badly by shutting up and ignoring them. I’m tired of abandoning spaces to the loudest and angriest. ---

> [@Eonwe](#): > > That said, I’m also tired of responding to people behaving badly by shutting up and ignoring them. I’m tired of abandoning spaces to the loudest and angriest. Agreed, but I’ve also stopped engaging with the loud and angry (TLaA). Just continue to have whatever conversation one is having as if TLaA aren’t there. If TLaA bring up a point you wish to address, address the point but still pay no heed to TLaA poster. And if one wishes to mock TLaA, because it can be fun to vent oneself occasionally, do so, but ignore it if TLaA replies. I’ve noted a couple who that has frustrated, and I believe they’ve ignored me because of it (and at least one is no longer present). TLaA want an argument, but usually TLaA are not worth arguing with. ---

She doesn’t try to explain. She just feeds the bullshit. She deflects and spins and lies, only making things worse than they already are. I wish the press could just stop even showing up at her briefings. She gives them nothing of value. (Yes, I know that then only Fox and other right-wing outlets would report her “answers” but they are going to spread the bullshit anyway.) ---

Being “Harvard/Yale educated” is a good thing when it is a dog whistle meaning “white.” (ironic, as Harvard is now publicly defending itself for letting in too many brown/black people at the expense of Asians) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428.md?page=263) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428.md?page=265)
