Who is this "THEM" that you're always talking about?

Thing is Coug, people who attack people on SI are attacking a chimera of their own imagination- just as you are when you attack them back. You don't know them and they don't know you, not really. If you met them, you would probably feel sorry for some of them- so sorry that you wouldn't ever attack them. You are full of health, and have a wonderful wife and life- not everyone has health, and a good life, and some people who do have it, aren't really present in their lives to fully enjoy it. Try for compassion, and not for "them," for you- because I think you'll feel better. Seems to me, in your idyllic life this part brings you some pain occasionally- and I know how you feel. I hate to see people attacked- especially when they aren't attacking back, and where the forebearance to attack is seen as weakness by people who live on SI to fight. But for your own happiness, let it fall away, because really, knowing what I know about you, none of this really matters. You've got your beautiful mountains, and your wonderful family, and the world at your fingertips, and that great ability to capture the beauty of the world in your camera. Of course I say this as much for your benefit as for mine- but there are groups on SI perpetually in search of people to torment, and mock, building whole threads for the purpose- and by going after "them", you only give them what they want, a fight, and ammunition to mock you- and since they are always looking for a target, why give them one? They are here to fight, and while that may not be healthy, either for a society on the net, or for them personally, it's what they are here for, and you can't stop them. Let them be what they are, and try not to let it touch you too much. It's very negative stuff.
