Yea, for example...let's say you work with someone who is not very kind. Continuously. Are YOU still kind to that person?
I can get along with most anybody. Even people I don't like.
And, I'm the guy who's gonna get shot alongside the road some day because I tend not to just drive past a motorist in trouble unless they obviously have help there already.
It's a good thing to do that, but be careful.

I haven’t had to do that in quite some time. 
On another forum, I'm able to use "contacts and friends" to regulate my inbox content. I've had to do just that a couple of times there, but here and at TTA, I don't have those problems. Then again, I'm not a female online, which is a factor I'm sure adds to your stress and whatnot.
if you only knew
are you parkers tan at TTA? I post there, too.

I only reported outright trolls. The ones who obviously are phonies right from the start or the ever returning spam bot, who tries to sell something by posting gibberish.

I am similar. With people I wish to treat nicely, I never stab them in the throat with anything larger than a #2 philips screwdriver.

Snarl and I snarl back. Smile and I smile back. Simple. Too old to play any more games.
The one thing I wanted to be when I grew up was a crotchety old man. Well, I am 62 and I did my time.
SNARL!

I think what is disheartening is when you are kind to people, and they snarl back. I'm so over it. :/

The way I see it, it's just the internet. If people start being verbally abusive and/or rude, I can just ignore their posts or leave the forums.
I've put three people on my ignore list here.
Two have since been banned, including he-who-shall-not-be-named, and the other, who is still here, is GC because, frankly, he's freaking insane and arrogant with it.
I'm pretty easy going and I also think I've made two or three reports in the couple of years I've been here.
Heh. I've got just two.

I do, in a way: I was in a long relationship with a woman I met online who told me a lot about that rowing -- and way back in the AOL days, I experimented with female names in order to see how the internet experience might be different vis gender ... and it is.
