    I've seen it happen to grown men.  No need to apologize.

>You're "willing to chat" but "would find it most unpleasant"?

    Yes.  If it's hard for you to grasp, I'm sure Kim could 
    explain it to you ... at the appropriate time, of course.

    Well, I am not intrested in reaching out to her to help her. 
    If she reached out for my help (as she has both sincerely and
    insincerely done it the past) I would be placed in the 
    uncomfortable position of having to decide how much help I 
    would like to be to one who cannot tell if I am her enemy.
    
    It's unpleasent trying to determine if the inverse (or is 
    that converse) is also true.
    
    I have been placed in the position of being asked for help 
    from someone who has back-stabbed me a couple of times 
    before.  I didn't find it all that much fun.
    
    I need nothing from Kim.  I've had quite enough of her, 
    thankyouverymuch.
    
    Geddit now?
