Noone is above letting the negativity take control. Rash decisions, emotions and just actions before thinking happen, they are natural instincts that we as humans have used to survive for all these years.
But that is when you step back look at what is going on and make the conscience decision to walk away, stand and fight and stay negative, become a lighthouse beacon and try to spread a little light or ignore the negativity and do your best to bring your positive energy in.
But again, that's just my view on life in general.

I think this is a fine viewpoint and good words to live by, but we are not dealing with a situation in which they are completely applicable. We are dealing with a few people whose idea of freedom has been from the start "anything goes which means I'm free to act like a churlish, immature putz." I think most people are coming to the obvious conclusion that the only thing to do in this situation is to walk away. To stay and fight is ridiculous because everything you say to defend yourself is simply more ammunition to be manipulated and thrown back in your face. There is no negotiating the exchanges, because they are not real. And, frankly, I see no point in it. There is no artfulness in this conception of anarchy. No insight or overriding philosophy. It's just people talking trash and, in some cases, using the venue to ventilate their pre-existing grudges.
And let me throw this in since we're being all open and anarchic and everything. If ever true anarchy were to hit the streets of the good old USA, I like to think that it's people like those acting buffoonish over on CA who would be the first to go running on home to mommy. It's real easy to be a big mouth behind a computer.
