You interpret every comment as really hostile!<p>Give it up, Balletboy. The only thing to do in a case is follow the<br>advice I once heard from a wise man: Tell 'em how it is & why it<br>has to be that way; then shut up.<p>Because they can do one of three things: they can learn from you,<br>they can ignore you, or they can argue with you.<p>If they've learned from you, then you've accomplished what you set<br>out to do, so you shut up.<p>If they ignore you, you shut up, for obvious reasons.<p>And if they argue with you...what good does that do? If someone<br>wins or loses the argument, that shows only that they were the more<br>clever debater, on that particular occasion. But that's meaning-<br>less! Being a clever debater has no more to do with being right<br>than being a better prizefighter has. It's a vexation of the spirit<br>...so you shut up & don't waste your time arguing.<p>That's what I've done with this Mary person; I suggest you do the same.<p>Tom[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
