I appreciate Linda K. Sherman's ability to see that there are at least two
sides to every story, and it's something we all need to be reminded of every
now and then.
But I'm not taking any of those whacks for myself. The anonymous poster has
a problem that has been described how S/HE sees it. My advice (and that of
others) addresses the facts as they have been presented.
I believe the dominant thread in the replies has been the suggestion to work
out the problem in a mature, professional fashion. That advice will serve
anyone in good stead, no matter how skewed the facts may be.
