Hm. I do think that's what she did when we had our spat on her board that caused me to leave it permanently.

And, as I've suggested, perhaps you can, in a sense, still take the higher road by expressing your disrespect for someone in a way that is matter-of-fact and not spiteful. I don't know. The question is...is it okay to disrespect someone as a person if your feelings are presented in a polite manner.
