Or the variation on GC's quote above, favored by Craig Anderton: never wrestle with a pig; you'll only get muddy and the pig likes it.
 
In most social situations, you decide who you want to interact with. If you get into an altercation with someone online, it's because you chose to. I know, sometimes it's hard to resist. But ultimately the choices are always yours.
 
For example, I will never, ever, type the word "becan" in a forum post. It invites the wrong crowd.




*Knock knock*  Hello?  Did we hear you say "becan?"  Can we come in?  We're really hungry and the dog wants to check out your sofa white the becan is cooking.

This is very true, Bitflipper
The corollary to that is that if you treat others with respect and kindness, you are more likely to be treated that way yourself. This is (of course) true in general, not just online.

This post is directed at the wrestling with the pig concept , not at the person who seemed to have coined it or made it popular  
 
 
Well sure , on line it can play out pretty bad to wrestle with a pig …I got that one  ….
 
Yet , the higher up the food chain you go , the guy who thinks your the Pig turns out to be the Pig for some other narcissistic self serving Pork Chop .  
 
I just chalk that one up to human nature folks ……
