I agree. I sometimes get exasperated over differences of opinion, but I just don't get upset. I used to, but not any more. What changed?
I saw the movie "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", one of the films in Kevin Smith's continuum. Anyways, J and SB get mightily upset about the many insulting and derrogatory things written about them on the internet. They come into some cash at the end of the movie, and use that money to fly around the country, beating the crap out of the people who wrote the offending posts. All of the posters were 12-14 year old boys.
The moral? First most of the insulting things that someone wrote in the safety/comfort of their home anonymously shouldn't be taken seriously because it doesn't amount to much more than adolescent taunting. Second, to get worked up over said things, to the point of extreme anger or violence, is just as ridiculous.
All that *and* Shannon Elizabeth and Eliza Dushku in leather catsuits.
