You are right in that you can't take everyone seriously, but when you have been on the board a few more years and perhaps become the direct and focused recipient of a caustic old troll who has gone way beyond rude, sarcastic, derisive, and even offensive and spirals down into contemptuous, sanctimonious, malicious, viscous, and just intentionally hurtful, you may not be so forgiving. You got miffed over being labeled a "mommy tummy." That is nothing in comparison to what has been said in regard to women who do not adhere to the intolerant "standard" held by some.I haven't been on this site for very long and don't know how long I'll remain but I did want to mention that judging by your showcase and advertisements you're not only attractive but there seems to be something so magnetic and charming about your personality. I can honestly say you seem like a genuine and fun spirit.
Pissing people off in such a way may be easy, but it is only fun for juveniles. There are better ways to be amusing while making a point, and what is said will make a longer lasting impression if not dripping in acid.

Sometimes it could be due to a lack of authority and power in their personal lives. Going to work everyday having to take shit off 2, 3, and 4 levels of bosses, never having the feeling of any authority except when you go home and log on to the interwebs where a small contingent of people egg them on and in turn those same people feel validated when their support reciprocated.
There's nothing ground breaking or earth shattering about that strategy. Now excuse me I need to Wakeup and get a caffeine rush because I'm not very observant and may not be looking at this right. (wink wink)
