Nothing you do makes me feel bad, Barry. I have to respect someone before they can make me feel bad. is LAUGH, dude.

Nor do I hold a grudge against you, for the same reason. > The laughter feels natural. Pretending to take her > seriously does not.

I wish you well with that. :-) Of course, deliberately *publicly* laughing at someone and "pretending" to take them seriously are not the only two alternatives. You may not be able to keep yourself from laughing, but you don't have to tell them, and everybody else, that you're doing so; nor do you have to say anything to or about them. As Lawson suggests, you *want* to make people you don't like feel bad. To have that desire and act on it is one thing; to pretend it's not the case is quite another. It's dishonest and hypocritical. ------------------------ Yahoo!
