    I know. I also know it's easier said than done. If we did react properly in every situation, we wouldn't have flame wars. What would we do for entertainment then?

    Andi,

    I totally understand your frustration with the flame wars, and the seemingly endless line of retorts to insults directed at a poster.

    However, I respectfully point out that you might feel a little differently when it is directed at you. Skally has a good point. Farkel betrayed her confidences here on the board. Why would she ask him anything else in a private email when he's the one who brought it to the board?

    And as Larc so playfully pointed out emails are not private either.

    Because hopefully I would have enough dignity to NOT fight publicly? I don't know. I don't look at it as "What does the other person deserve?" but more like "What do I deserve?" I believe my character deserves the right to show honor and dignity no matter what someone else does to me.

    I guess in this situation, I just don't understand the need to KEEP it public once it's been MADE public. And hopefully with a desire to deal with private things privately, the person who "wronged" you can realize how WRONG they were. If they don't realize that they weren't a friend to begin with. You mourn, count your losses, find better friends. Hopefully in that order.

    BG, regarding this:

    Very meaningful words and I will try to live by them.

    That's because you are mentally balanced.

    Uh..(gulp)...um.....i'm fresh outta singles. Maybe refiner's or farkel has some, yes? Please?!

    P.S.

    I really do wonder why some ppl here are so apt to crticize the victim of abuse rather than particular abusers. I guess that's just the way it is, eh?

    ONE....

    Bigboi:

    It depends on who the abuser is, it seems. Some ppl seem to have immunity from being accountable for their actions.
