Yes, I am convinced that the misunderstanding was entirely on his side, but I should have known better than to try and pursue the argument with him via e-mail. For all his good qualities, he is definitely lacking in the "reading comprehension" department.
It evolved from a written to a verbal dispute after I read this sentence:
"Besides, I'm not the one who cost the drama." (he meant caused)
We had a shouting match on the phone, and I went to bed angry. But this morning I sent an olive branch and suggested we let it go. I will write no more vitriolic e-mails, there will be no pistols at dawn, and I'm certainly not going to carry a grudge. It's not worth the energy.
Besides, people who can't let things go end up posting signs like this one:
And I really don't want to be that person!

lol @ the dog sign
glad things are better between you and your friend. arguments with friends are not pleasant
Thanks for the good wishes! Yes, fortunately it was just a flash in the pan.
And I totally cracked up when I saw that sign on the street--I love the ominous "you know who you are"
It really is best not to hold grievances against people. When we do, and we all do at times, it really is wasted energy and time. Plus I do not like negativity and the impact it has on me, let alone the other person. I have learned through the years to choose my battles. I will take a stand, but these days I realize that it is less and less important whether I'm right or not. Actually, I'm fairly certain that often I am wrong so why go there and have to grovel!
