Posted by Craig Of course... you have the 'right' to say whatever you want to say [and I'd never take that from you] BUT I think it's a mistake [if I may say so] to play the same 'game' [so-to-speak] as someone you are upset with. In other words - bullying the bully doesn't make you any better than the bully. In fact - it makes YOU a bully - TOO.* I believe that [more often than not] the best way to fight 'fire' is NOT with 'fire' - but with 'water'. As you may have noticed [having read some of my messages] I rarely attack someone - even IF they have attacked ME. People who attack or threaten or otherwise say something that is 'not so nice' are ready to be attacked - BACK. Their defenses are in place. Knowing that - I try to get MY message through to them [whoever that may be] by finding a 'way' TO them that they did NOT expect. I fully appreciate how you feel and don't blame you for saying what you said... but what you did was play HIS 'game' using HIS 'rules'. To SEE our 'enemy' - we have to back away from them a bit. If we don't.... we run the risk of being consumed by them. [emotionally and otherwise] I hope I'm making sense. GREAT BIG HUG *I'm referring specifically to verbal bullies. Someone who physically attacks someone DOES deserve to be attacked - BACK. [we all have the 'right' to defend ourselves - of course]
