fairchild:
I'm sure your story of the 'gentleman' with the bucket gets much laughter. If he had said the same thing to the 'Avon' lady, would the police have reacted the same? I don't believe the story for a moment anyway ... no matter where in the world you live ... dumping excrement on anybody is against the law. Good story though ;)
I disagree with you. If you blow up (no matter the circumstances) then you are an unstable person. A stable person looks at the whole picture and deals with the situation rationally.
Try to picture WG at a PTA meeting. Her son has been centered out as a bad example for doing something wrong. Would you want to be the one to tell her she has a problem? As people get to know ones like her (unless she changes), no one really wants to be around a loose canon.
It is with her good at heart that I even address this situation.
