"The praise and blame of the world are equally indifferent to me.
You may write of me as if I were dead"
Major General Charles "Chinese" Gordon,
Governor General of the Sudan, 1884
I admire General Gordon's attitude, and when confronted with snide remarks online, I try to emulate his composure.
It helps to put these annoying posts in perspective, to think of all the other things we have to put up with following the shooting sports, such as: ticks, redbugs, horseflies, mosquitoes,yellowflies, venomous snakes, steel shot, leeches,briars, poison ivy, etc, etc.
