Duck.
Nah, I learned a better skill, I return fire immediately and I am good with shootin irons.................
Perhaps we want something in the middle... Love 'em and learn to duck while firing.

Adding my two cents.
Depends on what the 'bullets' are made of. My refined choice is the fierceness love has to offer. As a fine sword is forged by the blade being smelted, bent and hammered over and over, I would say silver bullets that hit their mark are of a similar nature. This also requires accurate aim, ie: close observation of what the person is actually saying or reacting to. I would venture to say that on Facebook most of the time the best choice is silence, this is actually one of most effectively controlled responses. Why give energy where it will be utilized against you?
As far as ducking, well like Neo in the matrix we can learn to duck and even stop the bullets before they reach us. Ah, that requires great skill when the apparent foe knows your weakness. I have found that the best manner I have come upon when being fired at is to be inner visible, a state of Being that is fluid and unknowable to the 'enemy'. We really, really can be invisible space to those who seek to destroy or those who hate.

While driving yesterday I was pondering certain aspects of self and other, the interaction these two seemingly separate entities have. The thoughts were such; we are conditioned to respond in certain ways, our inner reactions that flare up (close observation shows how many of those there are) and while those are great food for thought and consideration (what we cling to) I was sensing into a much more fluid me. She that can respond as called upon in any given instance, there are no rules. Now that will usually stop any bullets before they hit.
Laughter and humor come in very handy too, when in doubt laugh or sing or dance!
