Actually, I would not, Roger. Someone's opinion of me is not an abuse of me- I can try to change his opinion if it is important to me- for instance, if someone really believes that I am a liar based on what I have said here, but if someone, as is more likely, calls me a windbag and uninformed, out of my depth, unable to admit I am wrong, unable to just let it go- and if I keep going without acknowledgment or an effort to change, follows up his or her opinion with stronger and more vituperation, that is still only an opinion. It can hurt my feelings but it cannot hurt me. And I would hope that at some point I will be asking myself what I have done or said that gave someone that idea of me.
