But it seems antagonistic to counter their comments. However, I have been known to simply add a :( to certain posts. Any more than that just brings out more hate.

If I may make a couple of observations: <br /><br />1) you aren't obliged to, nor could you ever, answer every piece of nonsense you read on ebay and facebook. St. Peter didn't have facebook (and he was a great Saint). When such things happen in your presence, let prudence temper anger and give your witness as you see fit for a prudent but fearless warrior Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524921971792027079.post-49711794251442058392012-02-17T00:49:55.435-05:002012-02-17T00:49:55.435-05:00This was exactly what I needed to read.
