Glen sadly some people simply love to wallow in ignorance and even sadder people feel better acting tough and denigrating those who are brave enough to be different and stand up to opressive conformity.
In my area, for every one positive comment I recieve I also get at least twenty negatives. Our society no longer venerates knowledge but praises ignorance and blind bravado.
Ignore them walk proud and with supreme confidence knowing that you are truly an individual. They fear us, so they try to tear us down.
