Well, speaking from someone who's had both ends thrown at her, there is a way to disagree with people that is not personally insulting. When people obviously don't care about the person they are tearing down, it does tend, if not to hurt the feelings, at least make one question why they hang around for the abuse.

I think personally, Tony's little slam on me in another thread hurt more because it was an unexpected source. I'm prepared for garbage like that from (for example) Jim, but not Tony. And there's no chance Tony would leave his own board, so if you don't like it, you've got two options: get over it or get out.

Sometimes I just need a break from this place, and I understand Garnet's comment in that vein completely. Garnet can take it, it's just a matter of if she wants to put the effort into it or not.
