Discussion»Questions»Human Behavior» Getting even. Getting back at people. That is really HUGELY important to some folks. They are obsessed with it. Are you one of them? Why?
Some folks retaliate and attack and get back at you when you say anything with which they disagree politically. If you don't suck up to them and tell them how right they are they take it personally as an affront to their honor and thus vendetta is born. If you think I'm joking I'm not. On Answerbag I attracted a couple of them and they are now here on Answermug doing the exact same dam* thing they always did. Attack me because my opinion differs from theirs and how dare I disagree? Pathetic at Answerbag and pathetic here. If you are advising me to agree with people so I don't give them an opening to exact revenge that's very bad advice. Why should I accommodate my views to conform to others simply because they cannot stand being disagreed with? Seriously bh! Who the he** are they to tell me what I SHOULD believe/feel/think/say? Thank you for your reply! :)

Not really! I have one or two from the site I came from that back stabbed me pretty good but getting even? What's the point? It wouldn't do any good anyway and most people like that self destruct in time anyway when they bury themselves with their own garbage. I think about payback sometimes but it's not that important. I do know some vindictive people who are obsessed with getting even but I just don't see the point. Best to just forget them and move on with life.
I ignore/avoid. I don't believe in revenge/retaliation. It is a complete waste of time. There were a few folks on Answerbag I learned to ignore. Sadly they are now here on Answermug and I ignore them here too. They only respond to attack. How pathetic is that? I don't engage with them at all. Thank you for your reply Rooster and Happy Monday. After all what better rebuttal is there than to ignore entirely? When people are invisible to you who cares what they post? I never read their posts so there is nothing for me to which to react! :)
