 During her benevolent reign as servant of the LGBT room, Quean Aubses has from time to time had thoughts on best moderation practices, and practical advice, on how best to operate. Here are some of her thoughts.
+==== Laugh at them ====
+We really need to try a diversity of tactics with bad/sussy actors in the room. Rather than even  immediately calling them out, try laughing and moving on. This accomplished a few things:
+  - It shows that their hints at Genuine Concerns aren't going to be taken seriously and doesn't rile us up right away.
+  - It lets us //gently// affirm that we don't need to engage on that point and just want to be cool and hang out and talk about actual issues.
+  - If they are a chud, being laughed at will //really// piss them off / make them uneasy, so our easy and relaxed nature will have incredible optics against their sudden attacks and/or slur usage.
+Remember, we do not always owe someone engaging in bad faith an explanation of why they are wrong. Especially if it would escalate or derail the room. While I do encourage we defend ourselves in the political sphere, we need to be sure it is on //**our**// terms and not //**theirs**//.
