I personally was negative towards you at first. The first thing I've read was your response to someone's post which pretty much said nothing important except that you have X cars beside the Z and some bikes. I was like WTF is this guy talking about, who gives a shit? I think I even responded to your post with the above question. So my first impression was that you're some rich dick who needs to impress people to get his ego off the ground. Since I don't need people like that, I never gave you another thought until a few weeks later when I read some of your other posts. This made my attitude to shift from hostility to just plain whatever, then I was more and more amazed with what you did with your Z and it was already on the positive side of the scale. Right now you managed to bump it to it's all time highest. See, the thing is that people at first don't know anything about you. They see the superficial stuff. They see a young guy with a galore of toys. It's natural to assume it's daddy's giveaways and that never causes respect, does it? It takes reading a bit more about you to find out how you came to have all that stuff and what you've been through. Some people, like me, will take the trouble and will appreciate your hard work and admire you. Some of it won't, they'll prefer to stick to their prejudices and still think you're a rich spoiled dick of a kid who never worked for a day in his life. The anonymity of the Internet, which makes it so easy for people to claim to be something they're not, makes it also easy for people to be rude and mean to others. What's the risk? At worst they'd get banned and have to change their nick name. Big deal. That's why people on the Internet don't think twice before they slur others. And it will never stop. Trying to convince them that you're worth of their respect is like Don Quichote fighting the windmills, or Siziphus trying to get that damn stone out on the hill. It won't ever work. If you find a hate post about yourself, say "fuck it", hit Back and open yourself a beer. Life's too short to deal with prejudiced idiots who cannot be changed.
