at least a bit of vindication...

Sweet sweet vindication. Have you ever had a time when someone said something SO mean about you, that you just wanted to explode?? Perhaps that same someone calls a friend or family member, and goes on about your transgressions... emails them even.... Then perhaps said friend/family member emails YOU and says, well, now that we know the truth, we are totally supporting you.... it may not be much, but it was enough to let me know that the slam campaign didn't work :)
