If one don't reply when being insulted randomly or for no reason, or whatever reason, does it mean one is acknowledging and accepting what the insulter says?
What are your thoughts about that? What do you think?

No it could mean that the person insulting you is beneath you in class and intelligence and you know better that to argue with a fool because people might not be able to tell who is the idiot and who isn't.

I don't think it's acknowledging or accepting at all. I see that as not giving the insulter the satisfaction of seeing you get upset because that's what they're going for.

I think when the person doesn't reply to an insult, he is a person with a very high self-esteem. He couldn't care less what others say or think. They are in effect saying "I don't care two hoots what you think".

If someone doesn't react to a random insult, they are not showing acknowledgement, they are showing self-control! What good will it do to say anything back to that kind of person anyway?

I would think that the person insulting me has some kind of mental problem and I'd feel sorry for them and let it go.

It means the one being insulted has class and shows restraint.

It means he doesn't acknowledge the stupid person who insulted him.

The insult is not worthy to waste my time commenting upon

If that were the case, then President Bush must think very poorly of himself.
