Get the Anti-convitemug. Anti-brighting is s tactic where either one completely ignores the form of abuse known as brighting or chooses to hold brightest, as difficult a feat to achieve accountable so they do time for the crime! Therefore, one does not become a victim of “brighting.”
I noted the brighting, and in my anti-brighting, I ignored or documented working with police to actually prosecute these people who harass talk and swap plates and cars.

Get the Anti-brightingmug. Someone who, upon awakening, looks at their tooth brush and says "not today." This action/in-action is repeated prior to retiring to their respective filth-laden sleeping quarters.
