Re: friends
Hey Jenkins, I'm not the most impressionable person but I took your advice and I wrote her an email response to her "I still want to be friends" letter. This allows me to walk away with dignity without exactly saying a phony "I still want to write to you. I enjoy reading your emails but if you don't want to write to me anymore like you say you do then good luck in you endeavors" line she last wrote to me. I didn't apologize but I admit that I wish I handled it a little more mildly. I don't enjoy giving a gameplayer's ego that much of a boost. But I got to sort of deflate her ego with my truth. I didn't retract my original liar statement nor did I mention any thin more about her dishonesty. In the future when this happens I'll just move on vs. being pissed off.
Jenkins, you're response inspired me to put a correct seal on a situation that never was. Plus you agreeing that it's not worth being friends makes me feel more rational about that decision. Thanks :)
Here's the full per-batim email that I sent her. I typed it so quick, sent it so rapidly, that I didn't have time to edit the typos. I wish that "that" was before "I" and that "we" wasn't. I also should've inserted a comma but, hey, that's my perfectionist grammar and puncutation tendencies. I don't apply the same standards to others who fall short. They sort of make me proud of the way I write yet I don't underestimate their intelligence. and ) Still It's short because she's not worth more then a minute:

I was wrong to be so harsh. If I could do it again I would've had a way more milder reaction. I'll admit that I overreacted but it's best that we go our seperate ways. Not I we had anything to part from in the first place but you know what I mean.
