Don’t Take OffenseThere will be trolls. Period.Respond gracefully to diffuse heated situations

Criticism • Acknowledge the concern.• Offer to take it off the record (message, phone).• Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to

their level and beat you through experience.• Don’t always delete argumentative comments.• Keep your cool and use reason.
