timebandit,
The world does not spin around us.
The same freedom of expression which allowed you to say what you think is the same that allows others to say what they think and that will come in all forms and shapes as this is a world wide open forum.
We should not use threatening or fear on those who are perceived as nasty as that are the same type of weapons they use.
Let people say what they want. You and nobody else cannot and should not control that.
It’s up to each one to deal with the comments the way they feel more comfortable.
If we can't stand them, the best way is to ignore!
