some adults enjoy making fun of other people. they are often miserable shit-heads of course, but let them enjoy their hobby too. doesnt hurt to be able to laugh at yourself.

No, fuck that. That's like the paradox of tolerance or free speech - "tolerate the intolerant," "hate speech is free speech."

I liked how someone else put it a few months ago: tolerance comes with a contract: tolerate everyone. If you break this contract, you're OUT.

So, yeah. I'll live and let you live - as long as you don't step on my toes. As soon as that happens, I'll tell you to fuck right off (not you, OP, but that 'miserable adult making fun of me.')

Of course, if the other party is just being genuinely and harmlessly funny, that's another story.
