Exactly. as far as letting things on the internet get to you, there's a certain point where it crosses the line from requiring thick skin, to being too personal. Kind of like the jack_asses you mention, or like when some comments were made a while back about someone's girlfriend and they got pissed off. Should they have been told they needed thicker skin? No, they are fine, it was something that crossed the line and they had good reason to be pissed off.
