[Mano]

One of the best quotes I have seen on how to handle situations like this is by Tommy Angelo:
[ QUOTE ]
Now, if he had intended this as a sincere question, I would have ignored him politely. But he didn’t. He was being mean, on purpose. He was mocking me and my poker playing. His intent was to injure me. I lost my cool and I got rough. I ignored him ruthlessly.
