In another thread I wrote, "Have faith in your fellow Literoticans and your fellow man in general - people aren't stupid or blind, and they can tell who is good and who is not. Nothing the evil ones say or do can change that, so the correct response is to ignore them."
I just got a note from someone who described being attacked, and did just that - ignored it. I answered:
"Good for you! I don't want any details for the reasons I explained, but do like to know that you were subject to and refused an attempt to make you a victim, because now I can admire and celebrate your courage and good sense! Yay you!"
Note: This is not meant to disparage anyone who reacted differently to an attack. It's not only not easy, but it's also very confusing. You too have my admiration for your virtue and goodwill, however you responded.
