"he is a living definition of 'Asshole'." That really (sniff)...
hurts, Billy. You cruel and heartless *******.

Yes, the above is my attitude about it too by and large, but words can hurt
on occasion. When I first came on ARBR some 3 years ago, I couldn't believe
how sensitive everyone was. All of those types have long since gone and
those who remain all have the hides of rhinoceroses.

Well, there can occasionally be some emotion when exactly the wrong thing
gets said I must admit. But I try never to get riled about anything. Name
calling is useless and has no effect on me whatsoever, but I can be gotten
to if and when anyone ever gets my character figured out.
