jaime_lion 56 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 So what do you have in your kindness arsenal to combat the trolls online and in real life? What do you do to not get upset when things don't go your way or when someone is being mean to someone else and you see it etc? I for one count to ten and remind myself that even though I do not see it person "x's" way it does not make me or them more wrong. I also meditate and do kung fu, so I try and "know myself" and by that I mean that I know my limits. An example I plan out my week like i go shopping on Tuesday and it is hard for me if I don't go shopping on Tuesday. When things like that happen i remind myself What would Twilight Sparkle do? so I pop in my headphones and listen to some music to de-stress. Another example is the other day my dad and I were going to wal mart and my dad said I could've parked there if the guy hadnt taken up 4 spaces with his pickup. He said I wish i could write him a note saying "hey F--- head why the hell do you need 4 spaces to park, learn to drive" I responded to him by saying "ok you can write that note and i will write one that says how I am sorry for how my dad worded that letter but other people need to park too and taking up 4 spaces isnt that nice." Anywho what do you all have in your kindness arsenal? Feel free to share stories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinter 3,064 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Patience and the will to listen to the problems of others.

FractalMoon 378 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Patience, the block button, the fact that my friend and I can laugh about it over Skype... Though honestly my favorite thing to do is just blast some metal and forget that I was being trolled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard User 2,127 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Hate everyone and everything with an undying passion until I am given a reason not to hate everyone and everything with an undying passion. I've been getting by so far juuuust fine. In reality, I'm just naturally hard to tick off. In the past year, I can count exactly one time I was truly upset/angry. oOo RIP Forums Writing Centre ;_; oOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverseFaller 2,483 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 In my arsenal, I have a party cannon alongside some friendship lasers. All jokes aside, I find that patience, kindness, and the ability to ignore/block usually helps. 1 Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGloom 6 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Patience and utter concentration to anything that can distract me (and my violent imagination) from the everyday trolling of life.

man dude man 555 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Reform trolls, show them that love is real. You will be shocked to see some of them crack. I have seen some of the biggest hardasses, irl, an dover the web, crack because they can't stand people who can show them the truth and still accept their ugly nature, because they have yet to blossom into the beautiful being they truly are, buried underneath their on hate spewing antics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhortac 1,474 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 The awesome ability of using my mind, to defuse a situation, or just the art of not giving a crap about most things. Ignoring helps too. 1 Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Easy, I don't get butthurt about it and just ignore it. It's just gonna turn out to be another argument over different conflicting views or something so what's the point there's no convincing the other person really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modphase 1,271 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 (edited) Be chill, kind, and try to reason with them. Give them a bit of insight in the process, too. Also, be able to laugh at yourself, and don't deny any of your mistakes, but in fact use them to empower your conversation.

Fluttershyfan94 5,742 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Nothing really, I just ignore everything that's giving me a bad day. I also try befriending people who try to be mean to me by being nice to them. Just talk and try to understand why they're doing it. If reason, logic and kindness is not enough then I just ignore / block that person.

Mightymags 1,053 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 I generally don't get upset. I also don't put myself in situations where someone can make me upset. I'm very rational and see arguing as a waste of time. Sometimes I say something online that doesn't come across right and if someone tries to get upset about it then I apologize because there was probably a misunderstanding in the way I worded it and then there's nothing they can say back to that. I'm also extremely patient and I like working through problems rather than blowing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discordian 6,015 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 (edited) I don't have anything in my kindness arsenal. If I recognize I'm dealing with a troll, I will ignore, block or report them if it's bad enough. Otherwise I don't treat people with kindness unless I agree with them or like them enough to not go instantly into asshole mode.

Nerdy Luigi 2,065 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 (edited) The elements of harmony I never treat trolls kindly. It's a waste of time. But everyone else, I treat at least with a level of respect. It is rather difficult for me to ignore trolls as well. Even when I do, that doesn't help at all. They just get worse, no matter what.

Totally Ducklett 181 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 You know, I haven't actually come to see any hate from anyone. I must be lucky. But when I do face hate, I have a Precise Orbital Defense Cannon, and let me warn you, it's not set on stun. Anyways, usually I see other bronies ignoring things, which usually works. Most of us here are clever, so we can also fight back properly with words. But you know what they say, Don't feed the parasprites! Quack. Totally a Ducklett.

chocolate cake 114 February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 Realizing that 99% of the time when someone is being mean to you, it has nothing to do with you, that you're just in their path and they're hurting about something else. I don't take anything personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
