If people don't want to be called names, they should try not to deserve them. I said it before, and I'll say it again; taking out one's grudges on third parties is one of the things I do not regard as part of the definition of a human being. And consider what I said to Ayla: these are the hardcore, the unteachables, the people who would do anything rather than just let their stupid grudge go. I am not saying that consideration and good manners are something one ought to deserve; or else, none of us would ever use them with people we don't know yet. But they are things that can and should be withdrawn from people who have un-deserved them. Treat them as I would treat an ordinary, unknown member of the public? Why should I insult the ordinary, unknown member of the public to that extent?
