Re: Hi all!

Greetings, Singh

I understand where you are coming from. I got picked on constantly
as a child.

Sometimes, it was really bad, too. Once in a while, I'll have
nightmares about it, though it happened many years ago.

As for fighting - or hitting someone:

If someone else is actually hitting and trying to kill me, I will
defend myself - but ONLY if the other guy starts hitting me.. and,
then, it is self defense, and very unlikely that I will be arrested
or fined.

I hope you won't beat up someone who isn't physically attacking you
in the future. I know it's tough when someone is harrasing you and
trying to make themselves feel good by putting you down, but, as you
yourself have said, it is not worth the trouble you get into
afterwards.

You are better than they are, remember that. If they are such idiots
that they have to harrass others, beating them up won't change them.

They are like the Borg. They're already lost souls. Best to ignore
and stay away from such trash, if at all possible.
