I'm addressing this comment to not only enigmabrat but to any readint this tread who have problems with being called names. I get called my fair shair of named whioch are usually derogatory and aimed to either put me down, embarase me or put a hole in my credability. I have fould that a reasonably quick whit, keeping my famius temper under tight control and a machevelean sence of humour stands me in good stead. recent example ~ I was out at a social event when one particular person whom I had just met decided to lace ito me and make me the but of his tastekless jokes infront of both his family and Neets's family. His own parents who do know me pulled him up when he was mocking my achievenments in both the Military andEducational fields. His problem with me was the 30 year age difference between Neets and I, however when he continually refered to me as a wanker and my repugnance to hit him infront of his young children, I just grined and commented "Yep I am a wanker. In fact I can claim to be the biggest wanker in Australia! Er,, just what is your sence of achievements again?" Even if some name you are called, really hurts you can get past that and often enough turn the tables on the name caller. Ok it is more difficult if the name caller is your master and dealing with that will be dependent on the relationship of you two and the dynamics involved,
