I frequently ignore gratuitous insults, yes. I am not taking sides, because I am not familiar enough with the beginning nor course of this. But Jewel has been my friend for several years, and, in fact, is the one who keeps dragging me over to this thread, so I addressed myself to him. I know he can pop- off too easily, but I know the faults of others, as well. Funnily, I objected to his points without bringing rancor down upon me, so I wonder what others may have done to elicit such heat. Anyway, I just wish everyone would take a breath and realize that things are out of hand......

How do you suggest one respond to gratuitous insults? Just ignore them? Is that what you do?

That is a legitimate option, one I would prefer to see utilized more often. I don't know why so many people dismiss it out of hand.
