[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 283785, member: 1991"] It's wonderful that he walked away. And maybe ity's cultural, but I don;t think he did or said anything wrong, uder the circumstances. All he did was respond to what she said - SHE was the one who raised the subject of blowing him up (or away or whatever). It's a natural response to say, "no, that should apply to you and not to me." Example - we have an ad on Aussie TV for a mobile phone company which can log your phone into whereis.com. In the ad the bloke is NOT getting good navigation help from his mobile phone and he insists to his girlfriend that she listen to him and he will tell her where to go. Her response to him is a pause and then she mutters, "I'll tell YOU where to go..." Eventually he listens to her when she says, "use my phone," and he discovers what her phone can do. "How come yours does that? Mine doesn't." It's very funny, but also a very typical exchange. I know we are very concerned these days about threats etc, but when someone else has made an obvious threat and all a person responds with is, "Go apply that to yourself," there shouldn't be punishment for the person who replies. Especially if he walked away, where in the past it would have escalated. THAT for me, says he should have been allowed to go on the field trip. But as I said - maybe it's a US/Aussie difference.
