I'm setting a boundary with you--I am now ignoring you.
Have a great day!!!!!!
This is not a boundary, it is a statement.
A boundary would look like this.
"Mr. Bond, If you continue using such a direct manner in your communication, I will ask you to stop posting on my thread."
It states what you need changed and gives him a clear idea of what he needs to do. It also gives him a clear idea of what you will do if he chooses not to make the change that you ask.
Lampstand,
I usually think Mr. Bond has a style that is hard to hear for many people, however, I rarely disagree with anything that he says.
Step back from the emotions of this, reread his post as if it is being written to someone else and see if you see it any differently.
What he said DID strike a cord with you. And generally, when something stings...that usually means it has some truth in it.
I wouldn't dismiss him so quickly.
Still waiting for you answers to my questions as well...
