The other day, I was surprised to read someone referring to another as a “timethief,” simply because she didn’t answer a question as they wanted. Although not condoning, true confessions—I laughed out loud at first, with the word being used in relation to a platform technical question of all things. Initially, I thought she was a moderator, still not appropriate. However, as it turns out, she was just a member, who took her time to try to answer the question.

She was truly gracious. Instead of returning the insult, she calmly said she was explaining what “could” be done. It’s not like she wasn’t knowledgable. However, the asker, still in the mood to sling, came back passive/aggressive with, “Timethief”…maybe I should have explained better…ending with a smiley face.

Kudos to her for taking the high road. These are the ones who keep humanity sane.
