I see your attitude to be exactly the same

You had to coach yourself to ignore this sort of things.
You had to spend time to learn no to get angry.
You still have to activate those techniques you have learned whenever you encounter a foul post.
In my book, they still control you. You just behave differently.
Telling yourself that you don't care or feel calm, absolutely calm and don't give the tiniest rat ass about what the fellow moron utters, mind you, actually feeling absolutely no negative motion, truly experience it, not just telling yourself what you feel is a remarkable achievement.
The question is why should I attempt to achieve anything? By attempting to achieve this state, I surrender control to the freaks by default, when I can easily ignore them with a few clicks of a mouse?
