Re: John and the Juggernauts
In reply to JohnA1nut (msg # 89):
Probably the key fact in our relationship is that its Eric's way or the highway. I trust me.
Since I trust me, and its my way or the highway, I'm able to put up with some stuff others might not because in the end, it is my way or the highway. I don't say 'hmm, let's compromise with John a whole lot'. Its more 'here's the line, and anything up to that line is acceptable, but one inch over, and nope.'
You wanted to bring up why I don't play your game anymore. Instead of shutting that down, I was willing to talk to you because I know my limits and am willing to enforce them.
You can justly say 'not fair', but its about me protecting myself. I am not interested in going over this a lot because I know you'd be up for talking about it for six weeks, but I won't, so I won't do it. That is another example of my limits.
Its why I don't get mad at you like some folks do. No need to get mad. Either I'm in charge, or I'm not doing it. Is this harsh? Yes. But its the way it has to be.
