In truth I do get comments when people have misunderstood the point I was making and I tend to let it go and only occasionally point out that they have misunderstood my point. As for people who rant I don't always answer a rant.. not much point really!<br />Hope you get your tooth sorted soon.

Sometimes people don't quite get my point and rather go off at a tangent, which can be interesting at times and frustrating at others. Sometimes I might point out that we appear to be at cross purposes, but usually I will just leave it as. Unless someone is clearly a troll I am happy to hear a person's point of view, even if it is not the same as my own, they don't have to agree with me, just put their view in a non-aggressive way as I will do. this seems to set the tone for other comments and I feel privileged to have such thoughtful and respectful "readers" ( I think the post on gun use was a particularly good example of this as there were diverse views on this, but no aggressive comments on what is a pretty emotional subject)<br />I've never jugged a hare, what did it taste like?Frugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-34183151049033803312014-12-08T20:16:46.521+00:002014-12-08T20:16:46.521+00:00Let us know how you get on with it if you do.
