You are both right. I am afraid of confrontation and afraid of getting upset because I don't want to lose control of my feelings . So what I have always done is drop a grenade or my opinion and run. I mean I could support what I am saying with the same kinds of facts and figures like you guys do but in my mind all its going to do is escelate and more and more facts thrown back and forth. And the more that happens the more emotional I get and like it;s a confrontation and I hate that.
