Sure, in the same way that some men 'express their individuality' by getting
a tribal tattoo armband. Have you ever noticed that the people 'expressing
their individuality' all tend to hang out in groups and express themselves
'individually' in the same exact ways as their pier group? The goth crowd
isn't 'expressing their individuality' with the way they dress any moreso
than the old farts on the golf course that all dress in pastel checks.

Wow, even when I spelled it out really slow for you, you still couldn't get
what was being said. When I (or Zadok) used the word 'ignore' It meant
simply: DO NOT TREAT THEM ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN ANYONE ELSE EVEN THOUGH
THEY ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO RECEIVE DIFFERENT TREATMENT.
