>>Fair is only in your perception. If you go through life expecting everything to be fair you are really in for disappointment. Maybe that's some of the issue; you are not able to just accept stuff. Everything has to be resolved, tied up, nice, all about you, pretty in pink, whatever. Guess what Virginia? It's not.

This happened not to long ago to me. A close friend IM'd me offering to speak at my user group because he had time available. I turned him down, saying I already had a speaker on deck. My friend got angry with me, called me a couple of names and signed off. That's been nearly 1 year and no contact with him at all. I wondered what was wrong for a couple of days or so and then got on with my life. If he doesn't want or value my friendship then there is NOTHING I can do about that. I miss his friendship, but I don't sit at night trying to figure out ways to force him to talk to me because its so unfair that he stopped.

Everybody has situations like this, but the difference is that adults move on and get over it, childish adult wannabes whine about how unfair it is and keep beating the horse till its a dead, brown, dried up spot on the rug and then refuse to clean the spot becuase there is a chance that the horse can be resurrected.
