[intrigueing]

It's pretty much just a "the more you do it, the easier it gets" deal. You get conditioned to recognize trolls and laugh at idiots. You learn how to fight and bicker and wank and rant without getting upset or distracted IRL. You learn how be passionate and emotionally invested and sincere about things that are important to you, but compartmentalize it so that you can switch your feelings off when you close your laptop to get on with your life.

It's like any other social situation -- the more you have to deal with it, the less you notice all the stupid shit. It slowly fades into baseline obstacles and background noise.

ETA: oh, I actually just gotta tell you one of the things that helped me a lot: I went to a KKK website and looked at the ridiculous shit people get up to there. Then I pounded into my head the idea that if people that stupid exist in the world, a lot of the people who have upset me in other parts of the internet are just as stupid as them, and really -- being insulted or disliked or disagreed with by people that stupid? It's a compliment.

I don't know, I've been in fandom and on the internet for quite a long time and I still rage over trolls and have a hard time laughing it off. Which is why I don't comment much or will disappear for long stretches, because the rage is too much and I need to step back.
