Umm, thanks but no thanks SN.  I have no reason to believe that she is sincere.  I don't know her personally, all I can judge her by is how she has acted here with her words.  In the past she has been alternately very nasty and then very sweet.  I have no need to enable continued cycles of that and I actually don't think it's in her best interest either.

And if I can't insist on being taken at my word, I'd like to know just what, in your opinion, may I insist upon?

You may insist on being treated respectfully, which it seemed like she was doing.

And the behavior you spoke of: being nasty one minute, and sweet the next? - doesn't that sort of speak to you of something?  I mean even if it was someone I didn't know beans about I think I'd be like 'whoa, step away from this one there's definitely something up.'

Just my opinion.  And to be clear, I met MT once - I do not know her very well.  But there are definitely some danger signs that I recognize in people.

Is it not disrespectful of her to continue to characterize me as angry when I am not?  How far down the road of having honest discourse with someone will I get if I let that person tell themselves and others lies about me?  Doesn't the concept of respect include honesty?  It does in my book.

I actually do have some sympathy for her as a human being, but that does not mean that I have to passively accept being mischaracterized in order to tiptoe around her and make nicey-nice.  And I don't accept the premise that someone who has a difficult life can repeatedly violate me and my friends without me confronting them.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead
