Excellent read, Neo.

One of the things I find helpful (some might consider naive) is to take commentary at face value and try not to ascribe underlying motivations which might undercut full discourse.

However....

When a person has sustained a rather stable and ongoing "relationship" with posters over time...we get to know them in some cases better than we know our 3D friends....(or at least we *think* we do <vbg>).

Plus, we start to recognize certain posting patterns of individuals over time that we can begin to decide whether to accept at face value messages or not.

How we deal with perceived underlying motivations is another subject entirely and certainly can add to one's stress level if not handled internally in an appropriate way.
