Competitive attacks and Jim Grisanzio's light
(In fear that the jroller monster is eating my comments...)
Jim,
What you wrote about yourself on your reaction to attack, about getting sick to your stomach, anger, and wanting revenge, is how most suits react. It's generally immature and petty. However, for most of them, the very reason they have fancy titles and positions of power is because they feel like they were hit in the gut (take things a bit too personally) and want bloody revenge (overreact). For them, that has been the path to success, and that is why this sort of behavior is seen in the high reaches of corporate governance and politics.
Software developers, engineers, and the kind that post build logs on their blogs (hi blaster) are much more logical, rational, and tend not to take all that personally.
Now you know why geeks find the posturing and shenanigans of lusers quite amusing, as well as a colossal waste of time.
Do what we do: Ignore and don't feed the trolls.

This relates nicely to a comment to a post by post by Jim Grizansio.
