Insulting is an indulgence in weakness. I'm no more perfect than anyone. All just variations on the same human experience

I don't know, it depends on the situation. I'd say not doing it is an exercise in restraint and a lesson in not wasting your energy on someone you don't have a high opinion of anyway.

And personally it's the road I'd take.

It really shouldn't be done, period

it takes more strength and courage to walk away. Why lower yourself to a level you'd have a hard time looking yourself in the eye about. It's easy to insult them. Walking away builds character, makes one stronger. Getting into a insult battle only damages the participants, no one wins

Depends on the situation. People can say whatever they want about me and I generally don't care. However if someone insults me through someone else it may be a problem

Not to insult them takes a better person. Let it pass

The only insult acceptable ... is self insult ... and only as a reminder to improve.

That said ... I am all good when folks direct insults at me.

Sometimes I might spout off, especially if I know I've been treated poorly. It seems to be necessary to get certain people off your nutts. For the most part I don't care

i have a problem with that.. as i do go after people that wrong me or someone who does a lot of dumb stuff.

Being timid to mentally challenged midgets on the left never works, it just encourages their crazed ideological behavior to increase. They have become an out of control metastasizing cancer who no longer can be reasoned with. Ignoring this cancer has consequences. Either "hit" them back hard or block them.
