I did have just that: won't dig it up. I also have a friend who's an odd character, sometimes far from well, but who's also a Kiwi poster. They sought me out and warned me, "This is happening. Do not respond, do not get sucked into it, let it subside". I think that was wise advice. There's a temptation to be like 'wait, no, I'm cool: let me show how I'm basically cool with this' and it'll play well to some extent but there's a limit. In a place like that you are not there to demonstrate your coolness: either you're trying to 'show them' (bad attitude) or you're offended and angry that they are slighting you (worse attitude!) We are all basically 'lolcows' and 'cool people' at the same time. Trying to post a defense against being a lolcow shows a kind of arrogance that the whole site is set up to exploit: best to just not respond, and not to be too judgemental or offended. I try to do stuff that doesn't belong on Kiwi Farms and is not worthy of their attention. I try to be a very uninteresting, dried-up, unrewarding lolcow :)
