My last word on all of this before I unsubscribe this topic...
Listen to McCon.
People used to - and still do on increasingly rare occassions - give him all sorts of sh1t for reasons that are not worth repeating again.
The point is, he kept his humour, did not respond to the taunts most of the time, and kept his dignity intact. As such, he has won quite a few friends around here and he certainly has my respect. The crap he put up with would have made me flee this site and never come back.
I know it's not the same thing, but the same way of dealing with it works for all shapes and sizes. Keep a sense of humour, don't let things get you down, and then people will stop trying to bring you down once they see it's not going to work.
Do not wallow in self-pity, and do not blame others. It's you smashing car windscreens, not your parents or the bullies at school. Take responsibilty for your own state of being.
