Concerning the current net.weenie, I found this quote from EFF's Guide to the Internet (formerly The Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet):
"...these are the annoying types who take a special thrill in trying to make you miserable. The best advice in dealing with them is to count to 10 and then ignore them -- like juveniles everywhere, most of their fun comes in seeing how upset you can get."
Stay calm. We're here to have fun, right?
