In Person

Today I met someone who berated me nastily (and unjustly I'd say) on a mail-group. Things are so different in person. If you cannot say something to someone's face, you shouldn't be writing them at all. She couldn't bring herself to say anything. The conversation turned cold after we realized who we were. She pretended not to hear or not to remember when I sort of mentioned and asked about it. Then we said good-bye in a civilized manner and went our separate ways.
