Dear Lala:

You are welcome and thank you for your good wishes for me. I hope this new year is a good year for you!

I just noticed that you wrote a Dec 30: “I will ignore/ not respond to rude comments and  focus on my work if I ever come across someone like him”- I don’t  think that this is a good plan. Instead, if and when a person mistreats you like this man had, stand up, stand up straight with your head held high, look him in the eye, make your face strong, unafraid, angry. And say to him with a strong, angry voice: F**& you!

Or something like that, strong, something  that cannot possibly be understood as  anything  but valid, justified anger.
