Guess what - I learned to deal with it, and dealt with each situation according to the circumstances, and got on with life - instead of carrying a grudge against someone for years because "Johnny called me a bad name", or becoming an anti-social hermit and refusing to interact with other people, or as seems to be the remedy du jour these days, filing harassment or hate crime charges/lawsuit.
Someone that I've never met, called me a whatever, in one post, on one thread, in one section of an internet car forum that 99% of the world doesn't even know about? Big whoop - I've got more important problems in the real world to deal with.

Sometimes I feel like people in OD need to lighten up, big time. There are plenty of times people say weird things to my face in real life...you just nod and walk away. Why can't OD be that simple? Its really not that hard to avoid infractions.
