(moderation:
Some one asked a question on the crunchers corner board and I answered.
Got a smart a$$ remark back from that person.
I'm sorry if my measly 10K credits aren't good enough for him.
As for me, I'll be sticking to the cafe because obviously I'm an idiot.

That little red "X" would inform the people at hand that someone has made a personal attack against you. I have had to use it a couple of times for people who decide that my knowledge is not what they wanted, and also wrote what I considered pretty slanderous remarks.
There is always one in the bunch. Do not take it badly. We all find these people, feel the hurt, then move on with our lives. Some people are always angry, some just do not know or understand correctly, some just plain do not care how they treat others.
Grow from the experience. Allow yourself time to heal from it. Life is what you do with it. Others people can be an asset. Those are the people you want to find.
I hope that you will reconsider giving of your help. Most people like to hear more than one position. Don't let one bad apple spoil your day.

Obviously, YOU ARE NOT AN IDIOT!!!
You, of all people, who made a personal sacrifice to go to Korea to teach children English, with a background in psychology, you are far from an idiot. The idiot is the person so insecure as to belittle you for some petty reason that had nothing to do with you. Go on doing your good work, bringing us humor and shake the dust off from a petty tyrant who is so insecure and insignificant as to raise an issue that doesn't exist.
Go in peace.

Hey Kath, chin up. We all

Hey Kath, chin up. We all know what you have done and how smart you are. You have our respect. I don't know who the jerk was, but it is easy to be a smart a$$ when you are on a computer and don't have to look the person in the eye. Keep on being yourself. We like to hear from you. I never did hear how the job interview went or is that a bad subject?:^)
Besides, your happiness does

Besides, your happiness does not depend on anyone else! So keep up the good work!!
Happy crunching,
