At last, a man with some sense! Great words Jake, truly the most reasonable and realistic view that I have seen on this board. I have had a situation such as yours occur to me and ended up trapped in a no win situation, a situation that I am still trapped in. This whole invention of the Internet gives people the freedom to abuse people however they want using the shield of a "user-name". People feel that they can cross certain lines that they may not be able to cross in "real life" and in "real life situations". Whilst this is going on they can then go on about their normal everyday lifes and not pay a passing thought to the person that they have just called an ass or whatever. The thing is that people need to see the differences between the Internet and the real world, see the real problems that go on each and every day in each and every country and in each and every city. Then they can maybe put into perspective just how petty an argument with someone they don't know and are likely never going to meet is over such trivialities as go on all the time on this "wonderful" Internet. I know that Miguel has had his personal problems and am sure everyone else has and so can see this. The world is full of shit and problems, so let's just try to make things a bit easier and try and get along as best we can with those around us.

Later red

Andy
