No, I have a distinct lack of ability to be insulted and take it
lying down. If people would stop posting things that are insulting
and start posting "normally", there'd be no problem! Of course I
resist whatever is said in an insulting post. I am not going to
actually *believe* the insults, and since the insults are false
everything else must be treated as lacking in credibility. If you
want someone to listen to what you have to say the basic rule is to
say it in a way that they want to listen. Insults just make someone
close their ears. If I'm "resisting being helped" it's your own damn
fault for choosing to deliver your "help" in shabby and foul-smelling
packaging.
