I am not concerned about not having a magical, unrealistic shield against harsh posts and derisive words. There is no shield. Words are words (they can't be unsaid).
Still, this remains one of the few respites where I can be vocal about the real difficulties in my life. I couldn't care less if someone thinks that I am living off of the government's dime. I paid into the system that was designed to help me at just such a time. I am glad I can't technically own a gun because I am at the end of a long list of nutters I would take to hell with me.
Wink.
This is a life of persistence. I may be beaten down now, but I realize that healthier circumstances will improve my quality of life. I know that living with a less than healthy partner has shown me that I adjust to their standards, not them to mine. That solitude is an exquisite gift. That the bottom is still well below my toes.
That my family really and truly loves me, and is distressed when I am. That's a gift, actually, when you have faced indifference for 12 years.
I may be stupid, but there is still room for improvement, which is more than I can say for other people who post on these boards, you schmuck.

You really got me with that one.

As for the rest...
You are growing at an amazing rate.

I suppose some folks have an axe to grind, and they'll grind it anywhere, regardless of whether or not it's an "appropriate" place to do it. And maybe some folks suffer from an online version of Tourettes. Schmuck is the right word, either way.
Having been one of those schmucks from time to time is helpful to my understanding of how such behavior ranges from utterly useless to destructive, with no upside, whatsoever.

will probably go away faster if they're ignored, and not engaged in any way. They seem to relish the arguments.

I have always been a troll baiter. Like I have well dead meat in my hands to offer them. It's only my story on display. And there are SO many bridges for them to hide under. Best to have a steady supply of exact change.

Hi PC,
Exact change or better yet one of those passes that let you glide along the bridge without stopping, but slowing down just a little as you thumb your nose at the troll.
