I second that. It's my strategy ever since I am here and started on this journey. It's the best protection actually that you can give yourself. Sometimes I have already enough with reading the subject of a thread in the summary page, knowing I would never click on it. Unless it happened to me, of course. It's important that people affected get good help, but as long as you are not affected as a newbie, don't make yourself get affected by it by showing interest in these topics. Show interest and intent in/for positive experiences and you will have them. Simple as that. All about mindset.
