I am a firm believer in a person’s ability to acquire a new skill through practice, repetition and assiduous application of one’s mind and energy.
Thus, I believe I have become better at ignoring comments online on sites like YouTube, TikTok and elsewhere.
I have more work to do to truly become bullet proof from the sewer of off the wall comments that my coverage of the Conor McGregor trial has opened up. But I am getting there, I am improving.
I recognise that people with mental health difficulties, fanatics, extremists, and fools have the same access to a keyboard as everyone else.
That’s life. Meanwhile, I am improving my skill.
