My latest Pandora rule, which pivoted from Ignore when she posted a smarmy reply to a highly-regarded commentator, is not to initiate an exchange. However, if Pan goes first strike with her usual bs, I will fire back (if I'm feeling combative--which is much of the time).

On the other hand, if her nipping at my heels is any indication, she's a bit of a masochist. So perhaps I shouldn't encourage an intrinsic disorder.

The last thing I'm inclined to do is abstain from important issues.

Sorry, peacemaker. I appreciate your good intentions. :)
