However, having been in a similar situation myself on occasion, I understand how you feel. It would perhaps have been better not to have spewed it all out in a public forum if you hadn't wanted to embarass me. My email address is over there on the right - next time you feel like getting all your vitriol off your chest, I suggest you use it. Thanks for the good wishes. R Incidentally, I've taken Rose's comment off here, as well as your last four, because I like to keep a certain amount of my personal life personal. Dear Madwoman,

Thanks for your calmer message – you’ll forgive me for mistaking your last few messages as malicious, considering the tone, the pseudonym (smacks of poison pen) and the personal comments made about me. However, having been in a similar situation myself on occasion, I understand how you feel. It would perhaps have been better not to have spewed it all out in a public forum if you hadn’t wanted to embarass me. My email address is over there on the right – next time you feel like getting all your vitriol off your chest, I suggest you use it. Thanks for the good wishes.

I wish you - R - no malice and I deeply wish G hadn't made me privy to this website - all of this could have been mercifully avoided. Although I wrote what I wrote in an angry tone, which is of course unpleasant, I said nothing that wasn't/isn't true of Gordon and myself and what has transpired. My anger was at Gordon - not you - and I think was pretty tame under the circumstances. If you don't agree on some level perhaps you've never been put in a similar situation (who has?!) or didn't read carefully enough. Or you're too smitten at this point. At any rate I hope nothing similar happens to anyone who doesn't deserve it because it sure ain't pretty! With that I bid you adieu and good luck with your VSO work. Hi it’s me.

Fleeing the Jurisdiction - yeah, even humiliation. I just go the whole hog. Mel - shit! No, I had no muscly problems as a result of the sandboarding. I'm fine after the whole 'madwoman' episode also!

Fleeing the Jurisdiction – yeah, even humiliation. I just go the whole hog.

Mel – shit! No, I had no muscly problems as a result of the sandboarding. I’m fine after the whole ‘madwoman’ episode also! XX

I never dared try to snowboard for fear of the damage I'd do to other people! x Oh, and you look great, very happy :) Although I must admit, your adventures in the sand sound very much like my first (and only) attempt at skiing.
