Or don't say. If people say all sorts of nasty things about me and I
do nothing, what message does THAT send?

That you're above their petty and childish flames.

Yeah, right. If flaming me didn't make me look bad but did make you
look bad, you wouldn't be doing it. I'll always trust the evidence of
my senses, and the assumption that my enemies are overwhelmingly self-
interested, far more than I'll ever trust the words out of my enemies'
mealy mouths.

You can try to trick me but you cannot succeed. Nothing you say will
influence my beliefs now that you are a known enemy whose interests
are inimical to my own, as evidenced by your earlier hostile posts,
because anything you say is likely to be a trick, given your evident
interest in damaging me. The possibility of reverse psychology also
occurs to me, so I won't shift my beliefs in the other direction from
what you suggest either, or shift them at all in response to the
content of your postings. Of course the evidence from other sources
may be telling; for example, that any of you consider flaming me to be
in your interests at all implies that the sentence of Mike's quoted
above is false.
