This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    That reminds me of my nickname as a youngster, I was referred to as "a sorry sack of shit", as a young man, oh memories! Good old Pop, gotta love him.

    Yes, and do you remember who was responsible for actioning that 'dastardly deed'? Decisions like that are one of the reasons why he's no longer here...

    Another gem there from our resident 'Captain Insightful' - and oh so true!

    As a self-confessed bon vivant, who most certainly loves living life to the full [at least to the extent with which I can afford], I've been subjected rather a lot to the insidious effects of jealousy from those you describe above, whom it *so* irks to see someone who's actually contented with their life, in full control of it, and thus very happy.

    They try their utmost to bring you down to their level of unhappiness, because happy people shine a light on their discontentment - and there's nothing worse than being made to face what hurts you the most, and embrace the fact that you've largely been a pathetic failure...

    So I find the best way of dealing with such waste-of-space wankstains is to 'rub their noses in their unhappiness', by regularly discussing/showcasing that which makes YOU happy, and all the good things YOU have got going on in your life, which they would also love to have, but sadly don't, most likely due to bringing their unhappiness upon themselves, because of their past 'indiscretions' and how they've treated others.

    You just *know* that when faced with your joy, it'll irritate them beyond belief!! I do that all the time and then laugh at how they subsequently react...!

    As you say, unfortunately the Internet has given a 'voice' to these vermin, who would've once been muted and simply left to wallow in their miserable existences, but unfortunately now have the ability to spew their bile upon all of whom they resent, from behind the safety of their keyboards.

    However, I'm a great believer in karma, and that outwardly nasty and vindictive people, will one day get their comeuppance.

    The boxer knocked on the door, and eventually' a very sheepish, and worried guy came to answer it, he immediately apologised for his behaviour, and even went on to appear on a popular talk show, with the boxer, and gave him a formal apology witnessed by I would guess millions of people watching!
    I must add, that the boxer did nothing physical to this person, and I am not condoning that sort of behaviour, but my point is; anonymity is the main reason these people do what they do, no matter what they say, or how they make people feel, they are untouchable, until that is, on the rare occasion, they come face to face with their victim!
    Absolutely, and it's one of the reasons why we seek to limit anonymity here as much as possible, by insisting on members disclosing their real first names and approximate geographical locations, all of which receive subsequent IP address checks, as I detest folk on forums who like to 'hide'.

    In terms of what you've described above, I intend on 'living out' that very scenario, as I've recently discovered where one of my most 'vociferous' trolls lives.... So sometime soon I will get the satisfaction of paying them a similar visit

    Why not simply cease visiting wherever you have been going and/or completely ignore any comments that seem to upset you, Why give them the satisfaction, It's all meaningless in the context of the real world no ?

    Wrong. For some it is water off a ducks back - maybe for you -, but for others the nasty comments, are toxic and damaging and have a very real world effect on those who are on the receiving end. The its only the net excuse/cover all doesn't wash.
