... I decide it is an example of how different human beings can be ...
Well, I feel sure that's not what you really think in your head at such a moment. These are just the non-offensive words you use here. In your head you'd use words for that person that are blocked here. And right you are!

My advice to Naomi is to do the same thing. That is, to decide to think of such a person as an @#$%.

>We can never control other people's decisions or behavior. All that is under our control is how we choose to deal with that.

Well, perhaps we can't control them, but we can condemn such people. As I did with Jay Johengen, whom I consider someone who expresses certain anti-social behavior. If he has a problem with that, for example if he now feels offended or insulted, my defense will be that it is anti-social to not communicate with another members here, that way causing stress in this community. Also he oftentimes makes derogative jokes about others here. In my head he's a real @#$%.
