Fight fire with gasoline.
I know you think somewhat like I do. Ever try any martial arts ? Apply the same principles, use the attacker's energy against him or cause him to waste it, hopefully hurting himself. IIRC I only reported one thing, it was a mail, a scam, but it was done really well and it just so happened that I knew it. Many others may not. Regular scams, fuck it, they are so obvious.
There is one resounding chord, like an E on a guitar. Get back to basics, and in this case it means logic as well as a few other things. When someone called you a name in elementary school what did you do ? Round here alot of kids said "I am rubber and you are glue, what you call me bounces off and sticks to you".
Remain composed. Lure the opponent into a corner, but unlike some others, don't let on. For example you say "[quote their bullshit] This proves this and whatever". Don't give them the information. Put them in doubt as to exactly how to respond. If they don't give it any thought then, that's different. But if they do, they will learn how to express themselves more proficiently and sans the mudslinging. You DO have to able to prove your point usually.
People like me believe you more than most because of my background. I believe things because they fit into what I term my "knowledge lattice". If you say a politician lied, I believe it, if you say a dog made you an omelette I don't. Let the namecaller namecall. Maybe that's the thicker skin, again getting back to basics "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me".
Hertz, you are a conspiracy theorising nutjob with some kind of disorder. You need help, you are totally whacked. Come down Denison Ave. and take a right, it's the yellow house and if you don't mind we are low on papers. Set a spell, take your shoes off. We are out here (or out there). I am a deviant slob with no respect for anything, I have lost more than many have had, I have actually destroyed more than many have had. I am a total asshole.
But I am qualified to be a politician. I know how to put money in my pocket. Let them call names, just refrain from it yourself, be the better. Opponents play YOU. That is the nature of the game. Let them show inferiority. Even if we were sitting at my table and I had a gun in my hand, it's only words. In words, everybody plays by the same rules, that is a fact of nature. What's needed is strategy.
