Sincere question. When somebody goes that far over the line, what is classy about being a willing punching bag/doormat? Maybe I’ve got it all wrong, but I see a great advantage in publicly stating—by actions not words—I’m not here to be smeared and slandered; adios loser.

I won't be wronged.

I won't be insulted.

I won't be laid a hand on.

I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them.

- John Wayne in "The Shootist"

But continue to "rise above it." Take the abuse with "dignity." Don't fight back. Let them roll over you. Be a doormat. Because it has worked so well.

To me the most disgusting thing Michelle Wolf said was that people "shouldn't knock abortion until they try it."

How perfectly gross ...... and unnecessary at that "journalism" dinner.
