Avery... you are not forced to do anything.. you choose.  You chose to 
pay attention to these guys and whomever else, you choose to respond to 
them in like kind and in equal amounts, and now you choose to leave.  
HATE is a bad thing to let yourself feel, and I doubt seriously these 
two, or anyone else gains any satisfaction from your departure.

And now you choose to judge your fellow man pretty harshly.

 As I've said many a time... BB was unjustly singled out.  There are 
plenty of BB's here in the guise of those who would tell the rest of us 
that either we understand the world as they see it or we are stupid and 
deserve to be scorned. You find those kind of people all over the place.

I am sure there is.  I try always to refuse to engage in direct personal 
attacks and argument.  Oh I'll exchange a heated view on just about any 
subject matter from time to time... but when things get hatefull and 
personal.. I bow out.

Just steer clear of folks you dont communicate well with, and leave it 
at that.  Works well actually :)

Dont worry... be happy !
