“He that fights and runs away  
May turn and fight another day;  
But he that is in battle slain  
Will never rise to fight again.”  
If you want people to stop baiting you, quit taking the bait! Simple as that. You may think it’s cowardly but you have to remember that those who shy away from battle tend to live longer.

So why don’t you quit being a dick and let it die?
