Re: tit for tat - on the list

[Guest guest]

Dear Susie,

From five years of experience on this list (or anyway on another one that

had many of these members) I can tell you that the sort of exchange you've

had is not that uncommon, it's a bit annoying, but it needn't be taken that

seriously. For whatever reason, several of our best members (I won't

mention names) come across as a little bit scrappy at times, though I'm

quite sure they don't mean to be. In my experience, often the best thing to

do when you are feeling that someone might be attacking you or arguing some

point a little too forcefully is to ignore it and not write back at all. Or

if you feel you need to write back, then do so offline (as I'm doing here,

with you) - which avoids other people jumping in to try to help, which often

seems to make things worse!

It's nice to have you on the list. Please stay with us, and roll with the

punches - which are really little love taps, I'm quite certain.

Yours,

R
