Becker is right, you can't please everyone and sometimes you just need to get over it and move on. I believe that if you speak from your heart, truly, genuinely, you can't go wrong no matter what anyone else thinks. Live, love and be happy! And go to the balcony when needed...

It's not only a matter of taking time away from emotion, but also discussing things 'selflessly' instead of 'selfishly'. The latter tends to degrade any discussion into a battle to win and be right about something. Not to judge, but to point out fact...selfishness bleeds through that email you recieved and in the relating thread in arguments designed to determine the "right opinion" rather than state a "different opinion". It's not easy and I'm guilty too.Kevin Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422749410369932081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-1145640472701025102006-04-21T10:27:00.000-07:002006-04-21T10:27:00.000-07:00So true....

By giving yourself sometime to think, It allows you to calm down and think more clearly:) However, the great thing is that by saying I'm sorry, which may seem childish, still works.

I think you did the right thing by sleeping on it, unfortunately THINKING about things is not always taken in the right way.
