Glad you liked it...<br /><br />Niall --<br /><br />I agree -- most of the time it's best to let it go, live to fight another day, and allow the Gods of Karma to settle the score down the road. An Industry fueled by fear and insecurity provides endless opportunities for abuse, and everybody has to learn how to take their share. But when some power-crazed jerk goes too far, a line must be drawn -- and at that point, all bets are off: you do what you have to do, then live with the consequences. If that means burning a bridge, so be it.Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-13944236518010568772010-12-15T00:56:11.307-08:002010-12-15T00:56:11.307-08:00It's always an awkward moment when both partie...It's always an awkward moment when both parties realize whats happening. Do you scream at them, politely let it go and let them stew in the karmic mess that awaits them some day or burn the mother down. I go for choice number two regularly(99.999% of the time). <br /><br />I'll take most abuse in stride but when it's a flagrant epic asshole abuse of power/position/or out right need to save them self than allow their wrong to actually fall on them(usually all three); I burn the mother down. Granted this will also take out a few bridges in the process but in the past two instances I've done it. Those bridges never led to anywhere worth while or decently human.<br /><br />I know this industry is all about the abuse, I get it. I take flagellation quite regularly in silence. Sometime(.001% of the time), you have to stand tall and tell them where it belongs. Otherwise you really are a rat in a maze.Niallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-88896190714848389672010-12-12T18:00:35.254-08:002010-12-12T18:00:35.254-08:00thanks for a great post, mr taylor. i laughed, i ...thanks for a great post, mr taylor. i laughed, i cried, it was better than cats.hazel moteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243777594272583111noreply@blogger.com
