One of the agreements we should make with ourselves is "Never Take Anything Personally". Why? Because ultimately it is reflection of the giver and where they are in life, not us. That said, you rank right up there as a hot, smart, geeky (in an incredibly attractive way) girl. Most of us wish you nothing but the best and would count ourselves lucky to be in the room you light up. Though I am not much for newage tripe, The Four Agreements is actually excellent.

But from an outsider's perspective, it seems obvious that this person is miserable and insecure. He's lashing out and just saying whatever he thinks will hurt the most. With that in mind, should you really take this guy seriously, considering he thinks "whites will be an extinct group within a few hundred years" is the mother of all insults? Also from my outsider's perspective, I think you're really pretty, incredibly smart, and enthusiastic about what you do = a trifecta of good qualities :) Unfortunately, it stings when ANYone says something so hateful, regardless of who it is, or how much you value his or her opinion.

Meanwhile, what Paul said about miserable deaths and meaningless careers is not. Your false equivocation is just that. Seanda, most if not all of those labels are justified given what Paul said.

Paul says she'll die miserable, that her career is meaningless, and even makes vague quasi-death-threat racist/sexist remarks about her time being near an end (I mean seriously now, unless it's a death threat, 35 is hardly near an end), and white women not making enough babies for his satisfaction, and your focus is on the fact that what the guy said about age and marital status was true? C'mon now. John, you don’t think the message was nasty?

Your guests have called him "idiot", "racist", "stupidity", "evil troll", "nasty", "isn’t getting any", "sad", "childless", "waste product" and "embarrassed we share a Y chromosome with his kind"......All this based on a few inappropriate sentences. I feel that your guests have judged this guy far worse than what he said to you. Seems to me that your guests are more trolls that he is.... And your idea of trying to hurt him by posting his IP address, as someone mentioned before he resets his router gets a new IP and your minions attack the wrong person... Everyone that disagrees with the "approved group" is not a troll... I wish you well,,,,Seanda....

They're honest and truly show your soul. Have you ever considered collaborating your science knowledge in writing a screenplay. We are writers of original screenplays and one of our ideas is called DNA, where Presidents are selected, not elected. I just watched the rebroadcast on TIWS with Leo Laporte and found the comparison of Gattica and reality interesting. If you're interested contact me, I would like to explore and research how this could screenplay could be written.

It must be a message that really bothers you if you would make a post about it. After reading it, to tell you the truth, although I would say Paul's message is unnecessary, it's kind of true. You are 35, based on pictures you've posted (such as http://www.flickr.com/photos/66121329@N00/3954482004/), I would agree you look older than 35, and I assume you actually are unmarried, childless and much involved with your career. I mean... you're a science person, you should know that making this post and acting so defensively makes it obvious that you're actually bothered by these facts.

I mean, really? How about "Come here often"? or "Was your daddy a thief..he stole the stars out of the sky and put hem in your eyes"? Or "You must be tired...you've been running around in my head all day"? But "Although you look older"? Not a good way to begin the wooing. My opinion: this is once cyber troll that has to come up with better lines to pick up women. definitely a loser and not worthy of helping the "white" race continue. Bad genes - no need to continue that breeding line. Bobby Really? I mean, really?
