Where's the "thumbs down" button?

Seriously, passive-aggressive doesn't work for me.



I don't see it as passive aggressive. Most people here want their M to survive in some form or they wouldn't be here.

Agreed that one way to achieve this is to "let Go" and just get on with life and maybe they will miss you. Telling them that you are not interested in being friends with them is just telling them to screw off and also in a way tells them that you are too emotionally attached to them to be friends.

We all have that second tier of friend that we dont really keep in contact with but can remain friendly with. They dont know our business except what they hear through a third party and dont really get invited over to our homes. That is where i believe the WAS should be.

Again when there is an A it may be different and was for me. But if there is no A as the poster said then dont burn bridges beyond the point you can rebuild them. If that is what you want.
