Very insightful, most; thank you.

I have very thick skin. I am not sensitive at all, its just that sometimes, when it is said in a particularly nasty way, I feel the need to respond, but will bite my lip at the "fat" comment because I know much of it comes from insecurity that I do not wish to feed.

While I am not necessarily a reactionary person, I am confrontational. I don't let asshole comments go unchallenged. I am not one to turn the other cheek when someone is acting like an asshole; I usually become the bigger asshole. I see people all the time stifle their feelings and comments or bite their lip; afraid to stand up for themselves; that a'int me.

I guess a bit of the irony gets me here to, like you have some f'ing nerve talking shit about what I am eating.

I suppose it is like picking on the white guy; its not politically incorrect to slam him; as it is ok to slam the thin person's eating habits.

I get it equally from men and women- the women are being nasty, the men, for the most part are just being idiots.

I do not as a regular course ridicule anyone unprompted, I guess I can't understand it when someone else does it.
