Amazing how many people take it so personally when a stranger gives a response they don't like.
It's the internet...who gives a shit?

then I take a deep breath.

Most of us posting on forums like DU believe deeply in certain things, but when we don't we get most upset when people don't agree with us. But we really use DU for entertainment, to express our opinions,and maybe some information.

When someone doesn't agree with my opinion, I just laugh and have to move on.

Does it work both ways? Is your self-worth elevated?

Pffft, didn't think so

Hearing that response just once tends to discourage further use of that old expression.
