Ugh. I have, in the last few years, been able to look at nasty people with a question in my mind: "I wonder what awful thing was done to them, to make them need to be this way?" It never excuses appalling behavior, we are all responsible for our own. It helps me, though, from taking things so personally, which is really hard to do when it's directed at you!
