I know a lot of people; family and close friends - the smallest group - and others are acquaintances, work colleagues, the outer-circle of my friends group, clients and others are people I have met in passing or had casual encounters with over the years. There'd be many thousands of people I've met and interacted with in some way, too many to count. 

Of those most have been decent, pleasant, friendly or simply neutral and acceptable; many have also been a pleasure to interact with, those are the inner circle of people in my world...some however, have been the complete opposite for whatever reason. I think it's quite normal to come across people we like or don't like or are indifferent to, meaning that we neither like or dislike them, though.

### Execrable people

Often we need to interact with many different types of people and because we're all different we're not always going to get along despite the effort we may put into it and, because Hive is a community of many different people all collected together, the same goes on the blockchain. I think it's ok not to get along or relate to and feel comfortable with people (real world of blockchain), it's a choice, a feeling and is a person's right; one must be true to oneself after all. 

In the real world we simply move on and get on with our lives. Those execrable people we encounter tend to drift away; sometimes this is not possible though, a work environment for instance. Generally though, we walk away (literally or figuratively) and that person can't touch us, taint us with their vitriol, mistreatment, negativity or whatever element they brought forth that we didn't respond well to. Again, it's a person's right to choose that path, but what I note here on Hive is that many execrable people linger. 

They hang around like a bad smell, possibly in a bid to find personal relevance, a feeling of self-worth, validation or even a feeling of power or control. They poke at others, taunt them in a bid to gain a reaction which, I guess, they feel puts them in a position of power or control and they often band together in the process. Sort of like how a pile of rank, repugnant, steaming shit that just oozed out of the asshole of a pig sort of slops onto itself and piles up sticking together and releasing its malodourous, disgusting smell into the air. 

They're easy to spot though...you can find them in comments and posts, usually blaming others for the demise of their account, levelling accusations and spewing filthy vitriol onto others in a bid to sway others' thoughts or draw like-minded execrable people to their cause. 

### Best ignored

I'm a strong person, of character and will I mean and in other ways I guess also, and one of my greatest strengths is the ability to draw a line beneath a person and move forward independently of them and it's something I've done in the real world, and here on Hive also, with great effect. It takes discipline, but that's something I've never lacked so those vitriolic and execrable people become nothing more than, well just *nothing at all*. 

The interesting thing is that, quite often, they themselves cannot move forward in the same way and I am pretty certain that their continued maliciousness, the actions they take, the time invested in baleful and venomous activities, has the opposite effect to that which they feel it is having...especially on their state of mental health which is often quite plain to see throughout the comments they leave. 

I wonder about the state of mental health of a person who does the same thing expecting different results or one who willfully oozes out of the anal sphincter of a pig (figuratively speaking) to slop into a pile of shit which ends up becomes their existence, persona and reality.

What are your thoughts on the matter in respect of Hive or in the real world? How do you handle vitriolic people who focus on you, *are you one of those execrable people I mention,* have you come across someone like this in your lifetime and how did you deal with it? Feel free to comment if you'd like.
