- I do hope your view of all this changes when you indeed become a
- blackbelt. ;-)
-
- You may come to a point, when ego is less of a concern, that you don't
- take anything such a person like Dork says or does personally. Dork is
- the unfortunate product of many influences, and it is unlikely he has
- ever actually thought for himself. Like 90% of all people. Only in
- some cases, they become bullies or politicians. ;-)
-
- Your concern seems to be with pride and putting him in his place. Why
- do you place so much importance on him? Do you want to get back at the
- sky because you got a cold from standing in the rain? He can't help
- what he does, and lives in his own little mental hell as a result of
- it.
-
- I hope you come to realize that a more intelligent approach is to
- defend yourself, WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER RECOURSE. It sounds silly to a
- lot of people, but have a little compassion for Dork, too.

- yours in ahimsa,
