Stress probably.

Thanks for the clarification. :toast:

Don't let them make you dance to ***their*** tune. Use their language, but don't make it your language. And keep your powder dry for the important situations.

Really, for some folks it's more about the fight, any fight, than anything else. We don't want to loose them, or loose any more than absolutely necessary anyway. Folks like that have to be approached more obliquely. There are things we CAN agree and work upon together if we haven't already blown the relationship on the differences between "toe-may-toe" and "toe-mah-toe". I don't mean to preach; I taught high school seniors for 10 years, was a successful and popular teacher. There are a lot of under-developed people around so the lessons I learned generalize pretty well.

Don't let those so-called "Greens" bug you. If they do, they've got you.
