This biggest lesson I learned (from Gary Veynerchuck might I add), is that what other people think of you matters zip, and it's a huge waste of time and energy to worry about it. It's just a losing strategy. I love watching other people get frustrated when I don't respond to their trolls and baits. Let people play their game and move on.

^^^^^^ Gets it.

All he said was he filters out what he does not want to hear.

If that's what you took from it, so be it.

I, on the other hand, liked this part...

I noticed this part.

"I love watching other people get frustrated when I don't respond to their trolls and baits. Let people play their game and move on."

I have found that the definition of a troll on most message boards like this,--boards where you know you are going to be dealing with fanatics(fans for short), has been broadened it to cover anyone posting something posters don't want to see, whether it is true or not. Make that especially if it is true.

I have found the best way to approach it is just realize going in you are not going to be dealing with rational people.

TROY is now...
