A question

[c3n0byte]

I wonder if you'd answer a question for me. Take as much time/space as you'd like.

What do you do and/or what is your reaction when you are publically disrespected?

I get steaming mad, internally. What I do with the mad depends.

If I at all believe that it isn't deliberate disrespect or I can symapthize with their position, I will tell them that I don't appreciate the comment. Usually looking and sounding like I'm about to shoot steam from my nostrils.

Other than that, it depends on whether or not ignoring them is going to negatively impact what I was doing. If not, I generally ignore them. If it will impact me, then I tend to let them have it back in double measure.

Unless, of course, you catch me on a bad day. Then I'm simply likely to explode.
