Particularly in a politically charged atmosphere, best to just ignore it. Hard to do, but definitely best!

We should write a book on the responses we could have used, Sharon. LOL

There’s no joy in it if you refuse to play their game. After a little while, they’ll leave you alone and find someone else to pick on.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy to ignore button-pushing clients (and others). Sometimes it’s really hard not to take their bait. But like you said, it’s better to regret NOT having said something than regretting saying something you can’t take back.

There are ways to stand your ground professionally without resorting to name-calling and trash talk. My head is always full of the things I could have said, but chose not to. 😀
