Then talk TO him, don't talk ABOUT him. Grow a spine and address people directly, not through others. Put yourself out there where it can be a little bit scary and take a chance. Your hazy generalizations of how sorry you are or how misunderstood or how silly you think you can be at times just aren't cutting the mustard. Get out the steak knife and go for some real meat. Stop playing the damsel and GET REAL. You don't think I 'm going to take flak for this post? But at least I'm telling you how I really feel and showing you who I am, it doesn't come without consequences (especially here). Just look at the invective Robin is getting dealt right now.
