i know this wasn't directed towards me, but i just wanted to let you know that you might not get the answer you were expecting for the first question. quite frankly, if someone was verbally attacking me in front of my house, i sure as heck would walk away. i'd shut the door on his/her face. i don't care about any junk others have to say. like they say, those who mind, don't matter, and, those who matter, don't mind.
besides, this is a forum. as you can tell, it doesn't really help prove your point when you're comparing what happens in a forum to what may happen in real life.
