Hi Everyone,

I couldn't figure out if I wanted to PM the question to somebody personally, because I feel it's something I ought to keep private, or just simply come out with it and ask it and get everyone's opinion. I have finally decided on option 2 because I figure this may help someone else. This is not a problem here at the forum, but it is a problem I have in the real world.

Would you say anything if someone told you that you are the blame for the way your AS has turned out? Or better yet, "How could you let your AS get this bad? (followed by how they describe seeing me as)"

Once in a while I have to listen to things like this, so I was wondering...
How are we supposed to respond to something as harsh as that? I ignore them but it doesn't stop anyone from doing it.

It didn't just happen now, but I was just reminded of this, so I'm just curious....
P.S. I am not poking fun at anyone here, this really does happen to me.
Your are my family here I would never do that to anybody.
I'm sorry if anybody gets offended.

Thanks in advance.
James.
