Sorry - actually writing those general words were faster, I'm getting
pretty quick with this Dvorak layout ;-).

Yes.

Of course not.

    Andrea> 2- Swallow insults received for no reason

There's no need to swallow it - expressing the fact that one is
insulted doesn't hurt.

Yes, pride can be a bitch to control. Swallowing one's pride is
extremely difficult for everyone, even more so when you have obviously
been mistreated.

I guess one just gets used to a certain kind of mentality here. Of
course diversity is valuable etc. etc. I'm sure you will learn that
you won't need to swallow your pride all that often around these
parts, so this is really a minor issue. I guess we can now give this
issue a rest, and get on w/ whatever we need to get on w/ :-).
