Mike:
Those types are on all lists. I have been the subject of a few from time to
time.
Don't let them wear you down. They like that. They are bullies; and bullies are
the most pathetic cowards because they don't have intelligence or strength on
their side. Stay on this list; it is a good place because you are part of it.
