How evil are you?

Weird...
Where the hell did all my links go?? I mean, I know I should have kept a closer look on my blog for the last few months, but to come in here and steal my links is unforgivable! I demand to have them back!

It's only words!
What is it that makes people so dang touchy these days?? For some reason, a lot of the conversations in my online-chatgroups have lately revolved around hurt feelings because of something some jerk has said, or people getting offended by a rude remark someone has made.
I just don't see the point! Why get angry/offended/sad about something some person you've never met (and probably never will meet) is saying? I understand that words can hurt, but I've just never taken stuff that happens on the internet that seriously. It's so easy to be an idiot, hiding behind your computer somewhere and spew out all sorts of insults, bad language or ugly remarks, but I simply consider my feelings and general wellbeing too valuable to even think about letting something some weirdo utters online bug me at all!!
If he/she sais something awful it's my own choice to either let it bug me tremendously or just let it go. The world is not going to be a better place in any way just because I let that person's remark irritate the crap out of me! In fact, it's going to be a slightly worse place while I'm allowing myself to be in a bad mood because of it. I am the only person affected!
Whether I get hurt (by something someone I don't know nor care about says) or not is a responsibility only I have! I can't expect people all around the globe to have the same vision of what's proper and what's not. I can't demand that their set of values and morals are the same as mine, that's just ridiculous! I can not take responsibility for what they decide to say! What I can take responsibility for, are my own feelings. And in order to carry that responsibility, I choose not to let my feelings become affected and I choose to believe that no matter what that fool is saying, it in all cases says more about him/herself than about me!
So why bother getting insulted? I just don't see a reason to do it. I don't see a reason to let words harm my present state of mind, my mood, my feelings. I don't see any reason what so ever to give a person who means nothing to me that power, no matter what. It's only words!
Oh, and I just want to say I'm sorry for how boring this first post in a loong time is! I'll try to do better.
Also, here's something I found on Maija's blog. You know I'm a sucker for tests like this! But I also thought it was relevant to the post in one way...
Your element is Water: Understanding, intelligent, quiet and calm. You know who you are and no one can change that. Usually quiet but only because you're listening, don't let anyone think you haven't got an opinion! You're not quiet because your shy or sad, you're usually quiet because you are thinking. Your answers are well planned and helpful so people generally seek your advice.
You're the perfect balance between solitary and outgoing. But sometimes you need a little time to yourself to sort out your emotions and figure things out. You understand the phrase 'sticks and stones' and rarely let things get to you. What's that important for you to have to get so upset over? You know what you want out of life but are simply taking your time and enjoying things. To you your life is fine as it is, you can always change things later if your not happy.
What is your true element?
