My rule
I avoid reading any of RL's responses to Lindy or Johannes, any of RL's posts with all caps subjects, and any of RL's posts with obviously incendiary subject lines. I like RL better than I used to.
I also avoid Lindy, Johannes, and Bowser when it looks like they are on an RL-baiting mission. I like them better than I used to.
On the other hand, when I run into the bad behavior anyway it still pisses me off. RL's a bully.
