It makes you understand why people make themselves big and
strong - so they can pound their tormentors. Of course, weaponry
is an instant equalizer, whether you like it or not.

I once couldn't sleep and happened to be in a place with cable
TV. Flipped channels until I found a movie called Twisted Mind,
wherein some nerdish kid is tormented by the ingroup until he
snaps and starts killing the cheerleaders and BMOCs off. I
rooted for the kid, of course and was unduly disappointed when
he was destroyed before fully achieving his goal. For half the
movie I thought that the title referred to the popular kids.

Forgive me for watching a movie - that was 30 or 40 years ago.

 NB> My maiden name being Elder, I and my siblings got "elder smelder"... 

"Why you don't look that old to me."

 NB> If they think it doesn't bother you, usually they eventually give up

Sort of. Sometimes. That's what makes comedians and the outwardly
sociable and popular types who end up selling used cars and real
estate. And, it appears more frequently these days, mass killers.

     Physical abuse on the other
 NB> hand should be dealt with on the proper levels...

The point that Sac has been making is that the official proper
levels don't generally deal effectively, and the unofficial
proper level is frowned upon by the official one. There are
moments when Old Testament justice makes sense.

 NB> Put that way, I'd have to agree... there are some people that just are

I manage to tolerate or ignore most people until they become
actively obnoxious, and then it takes a while before my annoyance
at their obnoxiousness becomes a detestation of themselves.
But it's happened before and it will again, no doubt.

  Mix finely crushed crisp coconut macaroon cookies with melted butter
  or margarine. Press mixture over bottom and about 1 inch up sides of
  a 9-inch cheesecake pan with removable rim. Bake in a 325 degree F.
  oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

  In a large mixing bowl, beat cheese and sugar until creamy. Add eggs,
  1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream,
  liqueur, vanilla; beat until blended. Pour over crust. Bake in a 325
  degree oven until center of cake jiggle only slightly when gently
  shaken, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely on a rack. (If made ahead,
  cover and chill up until the next day.)

  and orange-flavored liqueur (or orange juice). Stir over high heat
  until boiling. Cool to lukewarm.

  Spoon about 1/3 of the lukewarm orange sauce over cheese cake, to
  within 1 inch of sides. Peel mango. Cut fleshy cheeks off each side
  of pit, then cut off remaining fruit. Cut mango into thin slices 4 to
  5 inches long. Arrange over cheesecake, overlapping slightly. Spoon
  remaining sauce over fruit and cake to within about 1/4 inch of side.
  Cover; chill until sauce is set, about 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

  Run a knife around inside edges of pan. Remove pan rim. Garnish with
  mint. With a sharp knife, cut cake into wedges.
