Dr. Manning, this is an excellent piece. I feel “lucky” to not have run into some of the subgroups, but I appreciated this piece as a forewarning. I feel that while I “think” I’m prepared for a vitriol-filled comment, I all too well know—it’s never like one imagines. Just more painful and cruel…

I would say it sounds like you’re doing all the right things as you have encountered it; I believe I read often that such only happens to the popular writers!

Here’s hoping there is a way to put the offenders to shame….hoping the sunny side of Medium shines brightly on you more often than not!!

Keep well!!
