Would Do 1 consider the source 2 reflect on the accusation (sometimes there is more truth to it than you want to admit) 3 decide how it hurt you (pride, finance, job, relationship, etc.) 4 address the person face to face 5 if hurt my finances/employment - discuss with attorney
Would Not Do 1 get into a name calling match on public forum 2 get into a name calling match in private forum 3 go to public forum to get advice
