Talk:St. Ethelburga's Bishopsgate

Private meetings to reconcile people in conflict? Does that mean any old pair of people who are having a spat? Because when I read that I had idly thought of meeting a certain former colleague there. Then I realized that if I did I wouldn't be able not to trust myself to start looking for heavy objects to throw as soon as he walked into the room. That would reflect badly on the church and St Ethelberge the Obscure would turn her benevolent glance from me. That would be something--no sooner do I become aware a saint exists than I grievously offend her.

Actually, TR, some months ago I alerted the--individual--in question that if he gave me sufficient cause I was quite prepared to enlist the aid of members of your profession in retaliating. That got his attention and he dialed back the grievances he was giving me to the point that now I merely think about how glad I'll be when he's dead. Another instance of action proving more effective in the threat than the application. Turtle Fan 05:51, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
