Being bitch back often has them backing down instead (and even sometimes apologizing to you). Which, if they were being unreasonable, is the desired result.&lt;BR/&gt;Candace Carter - &lt;A HREF="http://www.Back2Front.ca" REL="nofollow"&gt; www.Back2Front.ca &lt;/A&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6869557045926321904/1964599708876415419/comments/default/6139744740564190913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6869557045926321904/1964599708876415419/comments/default/6139744740564190913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyond-bitchcom.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-being-bitchy-is-appropriate.html?showComment=1223478840000#c6139744740564190913' title=''/><author><name>candace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11620851758078495836</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://beyond-bitchcom.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-being-bitchy-is-appropriate.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869557045926321904.post-1964599708876415419' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6869557045926321904/posts/default/1964599708876415419' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
