JEMMIE, IT'S ME AGAIN
Congratualtions!!! I am very impressed with the fact that you believe in the practice of self-awareness. This escapes so many of us who lay claim to talent.
That being said, I also would suggest that there are other ways to make your disquiet known to those who wish to antagonise. You stand ready to use these tactics, but the softness in your character makes you see yourself as stooping to someone else's level. Worry not that the stating of truth will lower anyone's view of you. You are the one who must look at yourself and know whether YOU are the one being understood. With that in mind I want to share something with you.
I live with a philosophy that keeps me in good stead with all. Simly because it keeps me in good stead with myself. It is essentially this: "WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS OF ME IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS".
You have mastered the first step in this direction. Take the whole mile. It may shorten your Christmas list, but it sure will make your life easier. --PALADIN--

Ahh...but...
I don't want to stoop to that level. I am more mature than that. Please understand I am not saying that because you chose to do so you are immature. In fact, you probably aren't. It's just that in my own eyes, if *I* did name-calling, etc, I'd see myself as immature. And as I am trying to better my opinion of myself, I am making an effort not to do the things that would make me feel negatively about myself.
Make sense? I feel I'm talking bubbles. hehe

Don't fight the urge...
...just write a blog in the MA section detailing what you really think. With swearing, lots of swearing. It worked for me.
