It was really absurd. When people looked a little closer, it turned out that many more people took my side than that of the attackers.<br><br>Negative and angry people show their worth. Who really wants to associate with that, even if they are right? After all, what will it mean if you make them angry? Will they turn and bite you, too?<br><br>This does not mean being weak or timid ... oh, not at all. I have never been afraid to polarize an audience, and I realize that by my not trying to please everybody, that pleases some people very much. That said, I will seldom ever attack somebody publicly, even with logic and facts. The argument is usually just not worth winning.
