[quote] Can't really understand why anonymous comments, the kind of "so and so sucks" should be given any weight by the targets though, gee, someone out there doesn't like me? How is that any different from yesterday? [/quote]

The popular response to personal criticism from someone you don't really know around these parts is, "I somehow made it twenty (30, 40, whatever) years without giving a shit what you thought of me before, why should I start now when it's working so well for me?" :)

Or to Cordelia-ize it, 'Hello? When has your opinion *ever* mattered?'
