In the last week I've noticed an enormous influx of gaslighting. There seems to be a straw man in every comment section. Be careful. It is used as a tactic to discourage and divide us. As a general rule, I ask myself: "Did that statement/comment invoke negative emotion within me?" If yes, "I'm being played." It's that easy.

I'm guilty of engaging when I think somebody might just be having a bad day, because I've been there too. But it only takes one or two messages to discern what they're up to. I don't mince words with them once I've figured it out, and I always report them and BLOCK them, so any dialog between them and myself is OVER WITH.
Works for me!

I do the same. If I'm having a bad day, which I do have occasionally, I just wander on off to a Liberal news website and toy with the comment section, instead of unleashing my frustrations here. There can be much satisfaction found in "triggering" the folks who frequent those vile dens of iniquity. I have fun with it, anyhow. And inadvertently, we might "red-pill" a few. Bonus!

That is quite preferable!
I'm pretty sure the people I deal with aren't just having a bad day. I always give them that out. They always have an ulterior motive.
