Dealing with Online Trash-talking

Best-selling author and motivational speaker Brian Koslow said it best “Never make negative comments about anyone. It depreciates their reputation and yours”. When it comes to online trash-talking, there are no victors—just losers. While trash-talking has become widely accepted in the world of sports as it summons fiery competitiveness, in the online world, trash-talking morphs into an uglier and muddier form of engagement. It resolves nothing but harbors hatred and contempt. Various studies of human behavior suggest people are more inclined to make harsher remarks online than in face-to-face interactions. Therefore, the occurrence of trash-talking becomes more deliberate and personal when it happens online.
We must understand that whenever we participate in online trash-talking, our reactions and opinions are seen by many people. We must realize that a great number of these “online lurkers” are real haters who find real joy in seeing you react angrily to online insults. How to deal with online trash-talking?
