Hypothetical noh-n hypotetical situation Mark Unseen   Aug 8 16:25 UTC 1997

        Well, since there's already a scruples conference here, I thought I'd
ask - this isn't a hypothetical situation, but I'm curious as to what people
would do in a similar situation.

        There's a former coworker of yours.  He was pretty unpopular by most
of your friends' standards, the kind of guy who gets thrown out of parties
the minute he shows up and isn't invited to sit with your friends, but you've
given him the time of day, especially when other people have been relatively
shitty to him.

        This former coworker, however, has developed a vendetta against you.
First it's because a friend of his got asked some tough questions in an
interview, and he figured the only way this could happen is if you said
something negative about this mutual friend.  So he threatens to come over
and hurt you.  You're not worried, because the mutual friend knows better.

        Then this former coworker takes up with one of your ex-girlfriends,
and things get really bad - eventually ending in his trying to tell someone
you used to date, and who is very important to you, that you slept around on
them for the last three months of your relationship with them, when he knows
you didn't.

        What would you do?

I would trust that my ex-girl friend knows that I would not have slept around
without her knowledge, that she would have confidance in my integrity and I
would enjoy watching him srew himself up with the lies that he was telling.

        The situation between me and her is cleared up now - but there's still
a lot of trust that has to be re-built because of it.  What I'm trying to see
is what different people's reactions would be to this, and how they would deal
with the person doing the lying.

The truth will out. That's an old but true verse. Had a simular situation
happen to me several years ago ... the liar was finally exposed and I still
enjoy the relationship with my friend. Vendetta can be such an arkward
situation, especially if it is not thought thru. Another trueism: Revenge is
a dish bst served cold.
