-- When others observe a cretin spouting insults at a reasonable fellow, what do those others think about the "insulter" vs the "insulted" ???? They think poorly of the cretin, not the fellow who was insulted. Additionally, they probably are rooting for the insulted one.
-- Life is good. Insults hurled here mean so very little in the grand scheme of things. The world will keep spinning around just fine if Boule'tard calls me a feckless crapweasel. Who gives a phock?
-- Having some of the folks here be responsible for censoring various comments as being out of line is,… well,… censorship. That’s a burdensome responsibility at least, and can reduce the flow of communication.
-- You should feel GOOD when you get someone so worked up he has to start slinging nasties at you. When that happens, you have WON!! Everyone else knows it as well.
Don’t Worry,.. Be Happy

Hey! I KNOW that,,, but sometimes I just cant Help it,, & You telin me this just PISSES me AWPH sumthin Awphul!
Honestly,, Ive explained this very thing to my family,
The only way anyone can hurt my feelings is if I have Honored their opinion of me over my own..
Ive been in little exchanges with people & not gotten upset,, family asks why I wasnt miffed,, I explained that IF that stranger had offered me a Big Compliment, it wouldnt have made me feel good, because I dont know him, so I have no respect for his thinking, so a compliment from him means nothing, & since he isnt in a position to make me feel good, he isnt in a position to hurt me, either..
All that said,, youre still an EEEEEdiot,,
