Each is right in their own eyes.
Thanks for your opinion, first off -- lot of insight in there, and it's much appreciated.
I'm the sort of guy who will ask if I'm being wrong about something. In this particular matter, our positions seem pretty intractable, and efforts at resolution run aground on each our convictions of rightness. I wanted to phrase it as a poll so I could get a quick glimpse of opinion, and also wanted well-thought answers -- and I've certainly gotten that. But collecting those opinions would have invoked "right" and "wrong" immediately.
Why does that matter? Because if I'm wrong in my behavior, I need to change it; and if I'm right, I need to stand up for myself. And the same can be said of her.
Thanks again for you answer, Poca.
I voted you being right but I'm still confused about a few things.
You did tell her about the logical contradiction between congratulating you on something after stating she doesn't believe you have done the thing she is congratulating you for?
Was the congratulations sarcastic? Is she simply just overlooking this contradiction?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
