Everyone has a life frame. Some allow others into their life that impose on that frame. There are so many tricks that people use to manipulate others to compromise that life frame. That is also true on message boards. When someone replies to you in a derogatory manner, they are merely communicating that they are not in your frame. They are even more outside your frame if they don't have sense enough to explain they are outside your frame in a civilized manner. Time is an investment. Don't waste time on people who aren't going to communicate useful information. Richard Cooper and Rollo Tomassi explain below:

 
I am soooooo not in your frame.

:no:

At the same time, if everyone is communicating with you in a derogatory manner, maybe it’s you.

Why? There's no sense in being someone you're not. There's this thing called freedom of association. Just glance over those you don't like and perhaps send an IM to those you do. It's like shucking oysters for pearls. Make the search as quick and efficient as possible. If you get to know 10 people per day, that amounts to 365,000 in 100 years. There are 7 billion people on this planet. I wonder if SOME prejudice is necessary to summarize information and make that search more efficient.

I don’t know, man. Maybe we need to hear stuff we might consider derogatory in order to be a better person. I mean sure, if someone just hates your guts, then yeah, there’s probably nothing to be gained from paying it any attention, but if we close ourselves off from criticism, even harsh criticism, we could miss out on something that benefits us in the long run.
