I agree . . . sometime I just want to be as much of a jerk as they are, but all that will get us is more people acting like jerks. You are an intelligent woman, display that strength and intellect and no one can come back at you. I know from personal experience (although I'm not a woman)

What will happen is they will expose their true self at some point and then our mods can take care of it. We are all working at rising above the BS, I know you can too. Sometimes I write out a very stinging remark, well written and very sharp and even demeaning, but then I remember my goal is to elevate the discussion, not allow it to drop to the lowest common denominator (in no way did you come close to that) . . so I delete it and rise above it. I have only reported two people to the mods who got out of line, nearly every other person has come around to a better way of communicating (without amplification). I would love to have your kind of intellect working in this way with us.
