Faustus: But you can't do it in public. Lawyers love to get people to lose it on the stand because it destroys their credibility. Much better to figure the odds against you are very high to start with and take it a step at a time. Plan your next offensive immediately after a loss. Your mind can't concentrate on winning and losing at the same time. There's always a way. you just have to find it.

: Not everyone can stop their emotions in mid-flow.
: Spock can. (grin)
Faustus: And me

: I really cannot help but be upset ~ aside from the work I put into making up the Save Summerlee page, collating the responses, researching who to send it to, yesterday I actually wrote the whole thing up, called to get a zip code and was relieved to find out that, wow, it wasn't going to be necessary, everything was ok and Michael would be coming back, I post it here so everyone could be as happy as I was, and then a couple of hours later, find out that not only was everything not ok, but I was lied to in a big way, and now I've been told to calm down.
: Yeah!
Faustus: Did they lie to you, or, perhaps they just were not sure of what they were going to do. Did they worry about the impact firing Michael would have on the fans? If there was any chance that what you did made them waiver, even for an instant, don't you think all your work did have an impact and that a continued assault might work.

: Well, sorry, way too much of a rollercoaster ride for this girl. I've never pounded on anyone with tons of irritating e-mails or anything else, I find that idea to be really rude, so just worked hard to get a decent petition together to be sent to *everyone* concerned ONCE, not hundreds of times, tried to get the people here and at other LW forums to sign, wrote to many different places online to try to get some interest going, so forgive me if I'm a little upset that our first battle wasn't won.

Faustus: OK. But are you sure there's no cracks in Telescene's walls? Cool it beautiful! We need that mind of yours focused.

: Studies show that people who express negative emotions - anger, depression, etc. have longer life expectancies and have better health than those persons supressing their emotions.

Faustus: Bet your gorgeous when your mad :)
