My dad was never highly educated, but he has exhibited much wisdom from time to time. One of his favorite expressions is "consider the source." This has been useful to me on several occasions, when people have attacked me personally (IRL usually, not usually SI). Words are just words, and if we choose to take offense to them, that is our fault. In the right frame of mind, insults can be seen from the perspective of tragic humor, as when someone throws the finger at you when you are driving. If you can laugh at the finger thrower, the situation is diffused.

Just 2 cents worth on this thread issue.
