Okay, thanks.If I think of others, I’ll be sure to do so. But, in my experience, the one I did post is the most effective.
We could use the rules of RF as a guide, eh.What's toxic for one is a delight for another.

Perceived toxicity due to one's belief's is acceptable,
while being due to insult is not.....usually (there have
been exceptions I fail to understand. OK, I do
understand, but cannot say.)
They have their perqs.I think most of us try to do that most of the time. Still, many of us get accused of 'toxic' behavior from time to time, like being called a bully, or having an anti-_______ agenda. I guess it's up to the great judges in the sky, our mod team. Those poor blokes.
If someone is being abusive, say so.
Do this without responding in kind.
Be calm, civil & objective.
... not take anything personally.
... ignore posts, not respond to them at all and not even mention them. ... recognize more quickly hostile intentions behind friendly-looking questions and not respond to them at all in any way ...
... learning to make better use of the special purpose forums.
humor dealt in skillful sarcasm wit
... as if having discovered a jeweled treasure,
Cherish them as extremely precious
For they are rare to find!
What I mean by ignoring posts is not that I put people on ignore, or stop reading their posts. I continue to read them. I just don’t respond to them, or even mention them. The temptation can be very hard to resist sometimes, and I still fail sometimes, but for my purposes, not responding at all to toxic and distracting behavior, not even mentioning it. is always the best response.Don't get baited ...
