5 TIPS TO DEAL WITH A KEYBOARD WARRIOR
No matter how perfect you are at communicating or how perfect your product is; as your business or influence grows you attract more people and therefore you are more likely to run into a keyboard warrior.
HAVE EMPATHY
This is a hard one - but you know what; if you try to see things from their perspective, it does NOT mean you have to agree. It will help you in your reply
It's easy to feel the need to defend yourself However, when it comes to the internet; it is better to keep calm.
With 'do not engage' I am not saying ignore it completely (although - why not?!) but if you feel the totally understandable need to reply then do it with grace and avoid ANY words which could be interpreted as an attack.
STAY CALM
Rant and rave to the people around you about it but online to the person OR talking ABOUT the person in groups; stay calm
STAY AWAY FROM DRAMA
Some people just WANT drama, they need it in their life. So no matter how calm and collected you respond they will take their response overboard no matter what.
