Trust the computer. The computer knows all.
And me, I just don't let people bother me with their insults, it just rolls off. They can curse and insult me until they are blue in the face with no effect whatsoever. I don't feel the need to fight them 'for honor' or even get upset about it.
So does that make me spineless, or something else Bill? I'm really curious what your opinion of that is.
I consider it no different than standing by doing nothing while someone calls your mother a prostitute. I believe that one should be responsible for dishing out punishment when it is deserved. That level of punishment will of course vary from situation to situation. Someone calls me a jerk and walks away, I'd laughed it off. Someone gets in my face intending to anger me into an altercation, I am more than happy to comply.
Will I lose respect for someone if they just turn tail and walk away after being assaulted, verbally or otherwise? Absolutely. But I've found that those who do so generally lack self-respect anyway, so what will they care if I don't respect them?
-edited for double words.
Be well, people of CoH.
It's so obvious, can't you see it?
Bill is a Klingon.
I find respect, including self respect, to be WAY overrated. It has never helped me in my life, even when I had it. Only ever caused me problems. I don't see the point, so I'm working on getting rid of it.

Therefore how can society respect and allow you your views when you neither respect yourself nor anyone else?
See where this leads?
Respect is a fundanmental basis of people getting along. Without respect there is nothing BUT violence to solve problems.
This thread took a wrong turn and has now crashed and burned.
Locked!
Just like the Mafia!
