I too am a passive person, but I am afraid it just seems to be a fact of life now that some people just have no respect for their fellow man/woman, especially those that are older and wiser.
I have even found that when I try to give good, sound, worldly advice about a myriad of things on here that some of the younger members, mainly female, (the males are great!) seem to take offence.
Some abuse me and some have even use profanities against me.
In the end I suppose all we can really do is just try to be ourselves and lead by example!
Cheers to you Daza, both my wife and I will be in Bali next week for our 23 rd honeymoon, you might recognise us, we will be the older couple walking around Padma Utara and Poppies1, mixing with the locals and with smiles on our faces :)
