I'm sorry someone spoiled your good mood you had going. You and Deneb both are having trouble on other forums! Uh, oh, you guys aren't talking to each other are you??? Like I told Deneb, you can't control what other people do, but you can control how you react to them. Maybe you also need to avoid that forum for awhile (that's what I told Deneb).
A person can't bother you if you don't let them. I know this easy to say and hard to believe, but its true! Like I told Deneb, if I can get over being upset with the bitchygirls at work when they're staring at me while whispering in each other's ears all day, I know you can overcome letting this person get to you.
My newly discovered trick is to IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY. No response whatsoever. Just go on with your conversation as if they don't exist. Its really hard at first, but everytime I've done it, it drove them crazy and made them look like total jerks, while I came off as the mature person who didn't give in to their childish games.
Hang in there and try not to let this person you don't even know have so much control over you!
