Oh I'm too nice. It's not common; but about a year ago, somebody
   was on a campaign to hate me - ON PURPOSE. Never said why; I
   guess he just figured I'd be a good challenge to knock down I
   suppose smile emoticon

   Anyway, every hate comment, I responded with gratitude and a
   slight twinge of friendly sarcasm yet not too excessive.

   I was patient. Went on for many months. I treated him as if he
   was a friend who believes I stole his twinkie when we were 7 and
   doesn't want to forgive me. He'd even try things like, "Can you
   believe this guy? He's so stupid, he doesn't even REALIZE I hate
   him!"

   I found the whole thing rather flattering. Finally, after about
   four months or so, he disappeared into parts unknown. I expect
   to hear from him again someday, at which point he will call me,
   "The only person who put up with my bullshit successfully".

   And... maybe not smile emoticon So yes, Virginia, there *is* a
   Hater for Kenneth Udut. I don't know where he lives, but he's
   ... "out there" and I can bear witness to his existence, for I
   have seen him. YES, I have seen him!
