Quote - Acadia - by reading your post that is 3 up from this one, I'm reading that this is VERY personal to you so you would love to see any measure of it to pass to get back at (or have recourse for) your attackers. And that's what they were - attackers! Your responses have since been to use word choices to enforce your argument, and dismiss anyone that might damage said argument.

Forgive me, but I'm not entirely clear what you are saying here. I haven't been feeling well and between that and my pain meds my head is a bit fuzzy. Anyway, yes, it is a personal issue with me. I can't stand bullies, be it those in the school yard, on the street, or on the internet. However, I have respect for those who bully in person instead of sitting safely behind a computer screen getting off on hurting people. Those are the worse kind because they wouldn't have the guts to do it in person for fear of getting a fist in their face.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
