Of course when you speak up, speak out you become a target. Is it it worth it?
The former. I prefer to avoid conflict as long as it is possible.
I do the latter Oscar as you might have gathered but I REFUSE to engage with anyone who is uncivil . I say what I have to say and then I move on. I reply to those who contribute something useful whether I agree with it or not. The others I simply ignore. If they are looking to do battle they have to look elsewhere. I am simply not interested. Thank you for your reply! :)

what i do depends on whats going on at the time
