You will wonder what the hell this has to do with "Loners group", but I think you'll see.

I play an online MMORPG game, by myself. I'm not going to name it, so I don't get harassed by the idiots of the world. Long story short, someone called me a "douche" in the game. I don't think I deserved being called that name. I cried real tears in real life. No one has ever called me that nasty name in my entire life. Yes, I'm overly sensitive. Yes, I need to grow a rhinoceros hide.

Yes, I know in the grand scheme of things, being called a douche is nothing. Absolutely nothing. However, can't we all be kinder to each other ? That includes me too. Today just reminded me, once again, to be KIND, as much as humanly possible.
