Has it occurred to you that I don't care one whit about your opinion since I have absolutely zero respect for you based on the absurd things that you post? You literally have not posted one thing that I consider worthwhile reading. So call me rude all you want. Knock yourself out. I could not care less what you do or write.
When I find myself denying that I care what others say about me, I consider that it might be a good time for some serious self-examination, to see if I have begun to think too much of myself. Somewhere in my forty-some years, I was taught that other people think of me is really none of my business. Sometimes, I even live like I have learned it :-).
Sometimes, I stop to consider that the object of my self-righteous rant might very well feel the same about me (and my protests-too-much denial that I care about their opinion).
Then it is a good time for me to think about my intentions. What am I trying to accomplish? Am I minding my own business, or am I making someone else's business mine? How well has it served me in the past to tell someone else how to live?
Dave, who is wondering these things about this very message...
