Sqad - "No! no! no!................my take on this thread.
A straight fight between the good guy (andy) and the bad guy (AOG)...with me so far?
Now yesterday following an acrimonious thread, the good guy (andy) overstepped the mark (in my opinion) and was in danger.....just for a moment.....of losing his "good guy " image.
What to do?
Go on the offensive........
So he laid an ambush for the bad guy(AOG) who surprisingly walked straight into it and here we are.."dust has settled"..."hand of friendship"..."life is too short"............all the emotional cliches ..as bait.
The good guy has everything to gain now..."well done andy".."takes guts to apologise"...etc etc............he has retained his crown as nice guy.
Now the ball is in bad guys court..........if he refuses that hand of friendship....it will confirm him as "bad guy"..........if he accepts, then the good guy reigns triumphant again.....leaving the bad guy, still the bad guy.
Well played andy.............AOG....you walked right into it.
Well...that is MY take on the thread."
You've been watching too many soaps Sqad!
If you really think that I even have a 'good guy' image, much less that I am keen to protect it with such Macheavellian tactics, then you see me as far more egotistical and devious than I am.
There are no 'good guys' and 'bad guys' - I simply take life as it comes, I do not have a hidden agenda, as you seem to think.
So it may be your take - but speaking as someone who knows a little better what is going on in the mind of one of the principles, I can tell you that you are laughingly wrong.
