A reader asked via email the best way to handle the situation when other blog commenters or Discussion Forum participants get down right nasty, accuse you of dastardly things, etc. It reminded me of the story about the bull that dumped a great big green "cow patty" right in front of three crows. They were sitting on a plow handle. As soon as the bull left they swooped down and filled their bellies and flew back up onto the handle.
They sat there about 10 minutes when the first one announced, “I’d better get on home.” He took off and went about 10 yards and fell on the ground deader than heck.
The remaining pair sat there about 30 minutes before the second took off. He made it about 50 yards before falling dead.
The third one analyzed the situation and sat there about another hour. He made it about 150 yards before falling from the sky.
Do you know the moral of the story?

FINISH THIS: “Don’t fly off the handle when you know YOU'RE******"
