Hi Dearheart, Beautiful write up. I personally think, the problem lies in that we tend to act in an agressive manner when in a position like this which simply creates a loser-loser situation. Now the answer is not in the opposite either, which would be a totally passive reactions. I belive the answer lies in being 'assertive' Standing up for your rights but being diplomatic and non-threating. In fact being assertive is what my forum post today is all about. If you care to see it, you'll find it at, http://community.adlandpro.com/forumShowPost.aspx?PostID=133700 Thanks Kathy for sharing
