I guess I'm both callous and inconsistent. Next thing you know I'll be downright evil. (That's where you going, isn't it? Just admit it.)
I've been called far worse. Get over it. Be a turtle and let it roll off your shell. It is not personal, most people on this list have never known you. If somebody isn't nice and sweet and super polite, whatever unkind words they have are a judgement of your actions rather than your person. You can lament all you like about the state of things on this list (gee, I sure hope "lament" wasn't too judgemental of a term for you!), but whining over and over (perhaps not endlessly, Mr. Semantics) will not change things.
