Dear meliss:

I just noticed that in your very first email to me, before any of the technical problems that followed that first email, you wrote that you were nervous about communicating with me via email even though you bugged me to exchange emails (your words). You were nervous about communicating with me on your own thread, that’s why you pressured me to exchange emails. So… you were nervous and uncomfortable either way: on a public forum and on email.

This very experience of (1) Being pressured to exchange emails with you, (2) Giving in to your pressure, (3) followed by 6 days of technical (and whatever other) problems with the email exchange, (4) The Lose-Lose aspect of this: you felt nervous and uncomfortable after you got what you wanted — has resulted in me feeling stupid and quite angry for having given in to your pressure.

Here is my edited position today: I will never again exchange email addresses on the forums, and I will never again give in to pressure to do so!

If it happens that I receive a future email or emails from you, I will not answer any of them. But it does not mean that I am ending our communication: you are welcome to start a new thread, and if you do, I will communicate with you there, on your own thread, for as long as you do not ask or pressure me again to do what I already communicated to you that I don’t want to do.

I don’t want to post again on this thread, so this is my last post here. Again: you are welcome to start your own thread. If you choose to not start your own thread, then I say: goodbye meliss, and I wish you well.
