At a lawyers going rate of $500 per hour, 24 hours per day? That's gonna cost you some.

All all because you were unwise enough to give out personal details?

When somebody freaks out, and is then "seeking" revenge for some fantasy harm that you did to them, it can get very ugly.

Walk away. Don't get tangled in the web (and fight)that they are desperately trying to keep going. Especially in a very public forum.

As a friend, I would like to say that a thread like this might feel like bait to this person.

The last word is not always the best word. There is no such thing as winning in these type of situations.

yep, easiest way to deal with it is turn the computer off and go and play in the real world

And you get to cancel when you have second thoughts

And edit. Lotsa times I've wanted to edit in real life

Mind you, I have to stop myself saying 'lol' in the real world.

I wish I had a backspace button for real life conversations, or an undo key

I actually like the idea that I can go absolutely beserk typing

a frenzied argument, then cancel it. It feels good in a way.

Thank god I'm not the only one that does that!

channys_mum — Sun, 14 Sep 2014 09:10:28 GMT

yep

Not everyone are as they seem.

Walk away if it's serious. If it's not serious, just get over it.

Real life is way too short, to have it messed up by 'un'real life.

yes, that is excellent advice, i truely believe it

but, some people are a danger to themselves and it might be safer for them to play the 'big' man behind a keyboard
