Bah! I hates teh drama >_<
M2, you have too much frustration going on right now.
What you need to do is call up a family member...mom, dad, brother, sister, aunt unlce, someone who you could really talk to. Someone objective to the whole disagreement, and just talk....discuss it until you're tired of discussing it...then sleep on it for a few days. Then come back to it.
Posting it up here is posting it in front of a huge community who is NOT objective, we're all going to have differnt opinions on this and all it is going to do is create a flame that is going to eventually get the topic closed...
Duke's advice is golden...cooler heads prevail.
