I was thumbing through a book of quotes, looking for a way to sum up your situation when I came across an amusing remark. Someone called William Inge said, "It takes only one to make a quarrel. It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion." Yet though you are not a wolf.. you are not a helpless sheep either. You can now keep an argument at bay... or defend yourself against attack, by being firm yet fair.
