I treat people the way I want to be treated. I am guilty of pre-judging at times (like when I get stopped on the street by someone asking for money for "coffee"), but I generally try not to. That is because I was a skinny, 98-lb weakling in high school, and I didn't like the way some people treated me. Lots of education, self-improvement classes later, I'm generally treated with respect, but I still remember those times way back when.
Great, great story, and you deserved every bit of it. Congratulations on being an outstanding member of the human race.
