Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 I really can't understand this problem....You must be quite a timid person......I have had people challenge my beliefs on many occasions, but I have never found it difficult to put them in their place. I have never experienced the recurring asshole syndrome, but I have witnessed it. I think Leslies approach is sound if you can be bothered with all that bullshit. The only other options I suppose are ignoring the twat until he gets bored, or pouring red paint over his car. Now I would never suggest the later because it is incitement (and battery acid is better), but people have done it, and they rarely get caught. He must never know it was you...this is purely a measure to make YOU feel better. I supose it all depends on how wound up you get. I wrote a while ago about how I nipped two collegues very hard on the back of their hands when they insisted in pursueing their pathetic pub arguments. We haven`t argued since. Lucky them. anyway...Good luck my dear, if you need the equalizer, you know where he lives. MrBig p.s. I`m not the equalizer, honest! > " Lesley Dove " <100706.3632 >vegan-network >vegan-network > Re: It's been a while.. >Tue, 08 May 2001 10:14:05 -0000 > > > > Hello everyone, > > > > WOW!!
