@Azure If someone's coping strategies are such that lashing out at others is part of how they deal with their own anger, that person needs better coping strategies. It isn't my responsibility to help them get them, though I'm eminently sympathetic to their plight.
@literorrery @Azure yeeees thiiiiiis. btw this also applies to those struggling with mental health issues, and I *have* applied it to myself in my life experiences, and I *do* expect others I interact with to at least *try* to self-police this, and if they can't it's my choice and my right to opt not to interact with them as much/closely.
