What? Some people think I'm a Shatner-centric jackass? Oh, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! That is just too funny... Parody becomes reality in the world of cyberspace...

But, really, there is a simple solution to all this.

Simply approach everyone with a generous reserve of goodwill, no matter who they are, even if you don't have a clue what the heck they stand for, and even if they oppose everything you think you stand for...and take some time to give them the benefit of the doubt. You might learn something new. And if they are really trying to upset you...why give them that sort of power by getting upset? What good does it do you?

Obviously, what they are up to makes sense to them, otherwise they wouldn't do it, would they? They are you, in another skin, through another set of perceptions.
