TM, I thought about you and this last night. Actions speak louder than words. We will not know until the action is taken until then we can only anticipate and prepare.

Drawing on an analogy it is as if we are setting up a defensive position. We anticipate their actions, avenues of approach and prepare for them. We remain flexible and hold assets in reserve to respond to things we have not anticipated. If they feint, probe and demonstrate it is to pull us out of our strong position and onto open ground where we are more vulnerable. Until they commit it is just words.

Allowing words to drain us makes us vulnerable. We need to stay the course we have prepared for, to fight our battle on terrain of our choosing.

If neither crosses no mans land the stalemate continues until one side chooses to act. Intelligence must be gathered, actions should be carefully considered and implemented calmly and confidently whatever they are.

IMO her email was in response to your boundary. She is probing for a reaction, testing, and trying to draw you out.

You are in a strong position; hers will reveal itself in time. I can only imagine the chaotic untenable dynamics there.
