How do you handle the bigots in your life?

Writing out what you really want to say and not sending it is very therapeutic though! I've done that several times.

I have as little to do with bigots as possible. Instead I try and lead by example.

This is really true.  Writing out the rant, even though I did not send it, was somewhat cathartic. It was like lancing a boil.  After I walked away from it for 10 minutes, I was able to come back, write something civil, and then just get away from them.

Thanks again everyone. :Smile This site is like my support center sometimes. Big Grin
