If/when someone (who somehow found their way onto your flist though you can't remember exactly how) continually posts things that you take issue with, which makes the stronger and more lasting impression? -- to argue it out with them every time so that it at least gets cogently challenged, or to unfriend them so that they can tell that your tolerance has run out with them?

Personally, I tend to prefer arguing to just walking off and cutting people out, and I only shake the dust off my feet with people when I'm fairly certain that nothing is to be gained or bettered by continued interaction -- because, to me, deliberately stopping talking to someone implies that they are personally not worth the effort or bother of talking to, and it's hard for me to give up hope in communication having some persuasive effect.

( Pointedly-oblique rhetorical wanderings -- caveat lector... )
Regardless, there's the ramble of my thoughts as framed obliquely.....hope there's something to be found in it.

[* Aristotle, for one...though I've been known to say a few things myself in the ethical/moral realm.]

But carefully, though, let's not be too hard on the poor souls who know not what they do....afterall, powerful weapons my ginsus are, keen and honed by the years...

If you have been experiencing some form of injustice, it's an excellent time to stage a protest, strike, or boycott. The astrological omens don't necessarily guarantee you'll get all your demands met, but they do make it likely you'll be able to harness your anger with maximum lucidity. For best results, don't just fight for your own rights, but for the rights of others as well. You should also make sure that in fighting the disrespect you've suffered that you yourself don't disrespect anyone.

Well, I do try to be fair....afterall, being a Libra means trying to balance everything absolute-justly, even if you wind up condemning your very existence....though, I will say I've been trying a bit harder to avoid that sort of ....well, negative and self-undermining attitude, in a nutshell. No way to count yourself a king of infinite space, if you can't forgive yourself -- which makes it a good deal harder to forgive anyone else as well, if there's any doubt atall that you can afford to let an offense be laid to rest.

In other divinations, the I Ching had also previously endorsed my need to argue for my personal rights and views and needs....and considering that it's generally rather discouraged to assert difference and initiate conflict, that's a definite kick in the superego.....

A hypothetical question.....

"Rebel with verbal claws", perhaps....?
