Remedy Revenge

Ending toxic words

 

On LinkedIn, a man wrote a post that was a lie. I commented with evidence of the truth. He started insulting me.

I continued the exchange long enough for him to insult me several times. I told him I had drawn the exchange out so other people could see him repeatedly using insults.

I then posted a paragraph about the No Asshole Rule. I included resources showing how LinkedIn readers could see him as an asshole to avoid rather than a professional to connect with. He deleted his original post and all of his insults.

The word ‘jerk’ has become more common than ‘asshole’ in recent years.

Same backlash.
