Tattie Bogle, I use the same tactic.

"I learned a long time ago that if you are up against it with another Mudcatter who is being less than nice to you, the best thing to do is to keep schtumm and not give them any more ammunition to fire back."

Although being a ginger-haired firebrand with a big mouth and a big temper, sometimes it's all I can do to strap myself to the masthead and weather the storm without letting loose with the ranting and raving.

I'm hoping Senoufou/Eliza comes back here one day after she has regained her inner equilibrium about Mudcat and Mudcatters. If she doesn't choose to come back, it will make me sad, but also the thought of the Mudcat exchanges we shared in threads will always make me smile.
