What is going on? It is not like you to bite everyone's head of?

Re: Subj: ???

I'm not going to let someone talk to me like that, either, Hope. I don't know what Kyle's problem is, but he had NO CALL to say what he did! And if you're just going to lecture me, then save it, I don't want to hear it.

I do not wish to lecture you, but I do wonder what is going on. Even when people speak to you like that, you usually do not bite their heads of. And it is not only Mr. Gibney whom you seemed unhappy with.

Re: Subj: ???

I don't like Namor. That's nothing new. Or Maddie. Again nothing new.

But he tore me a new one for being excited and not phrasing my post as politically correct as he felt I should and STARTED his post by calling me names which is absolutely uncalled for. He's supposed to be a TEACHER, Hope. And he still works with me on powers stuff and hand to hand as an X-Man. His behaviour was absolutely unreasonable, unjustified and unprofessional.

I know you are not fond of Maddie nor of Namor. I share your sentiment especially on the last.

I agree with you that Mr. Gibney did not choose the best way to express his opinions. But this is not about Mr. Gibney. This is about you.

I repeat, it is not like you to be so sharp. First with Namor, then with Mr. Gibney. I know you, you don't that without a reason.

Re: Subj: ???

He called me a shit in his first reply to me, Hope. Yeah, I get defensive and pissed when people say stuff like that for no reason. I was so excited about the paralympics being on TV and now I don't even care. The last time the winter paralympics were on, I was just barely out of juvie. For the last summer games I had to google the medals and try to catch what I could on youtube and hope for description. This is a big thing to me. I was so excited :(

Then do not let him ruin things for you. It is still a month away and so many things can change in that time. And I am not quite the right person to say so, but if you wish you do have the right to go to Mr. Gibney and ask for clarification. Speak things out.

Re: Subj: ???

Why? He made himself VERY clear. Because I was excited and happy when I found out the paralympics were going to be televised I didn't phrase things as clearly as possible and therefore I was an ass. And no matter what I say, I'm an ass. And a shit. And wrong. And I don't need to watch in the rec room because I'm blind and I should let other people who would benefit from it more use it. And I didn't offer to make food for anyone or anything because I'm selfish....why bother Hope?

Maybe I'll feel differently in a month, but right now, fuck it all. The LAST thing I want to do is talk to Gibney about this or anything else. and the last thing I want to do is watch the paralympics.

Alright, let the Paralympics be for now. You can choose to let him ruin your fun or not.

But he is your teammate, Matt. Are you not supposed to be able to trust your teammate at your back? I rather not you lose because of things like this if the mansion happens to explode again. Nor Mr. Gibney. He is not your teacher anymore, but your equal in many ways.

Go sort it out.

I am not saying to do this right now. But within the next few days.

Re: Subj: ???

I never said anything about not being able to trust him, Hope. He's an ass, but but I've got his back in a fight and I assume he has mine. And he's not my equal, I'm still a trainee X-Man and he's still a full X-Man.

You don't get to tell me what to do Hope. You got in a fight with Namor too, you know. Turnabout's fair play. What are you doing to do about that?

About: Re: ???

Oh no, you do not get to take this way out. Yes, I fought with Namor and I accept the responsibilities and consequences of that. I am not sure yet how I wish to resolve things, but I am working on it. Even if it means we have to find a way to agree to disagree.

But the situations are totally different. He is not my teammate. He is not the one who works with me to control my powers. He is not one whom I regard as a teacher.

I am telling you there is a choice. I am telling you what I think is the best path to walk. But in the end all I can ask you is to think about my words and give them honest consideration.

Re: Subj: ???

Hope, I am NOT accepting blame or responsibility for this. At all. Kyle needs to apologize to me, not the other way around. I did not start that fight and I walked away instead of continuing it.

About: Re: ???

I do not view going to him as accepting blame. It's being larger then he is at the moment. Show you seriously wish to work things out.

You would be doing more then me if you do that. Because I am not capable of doing that with Namor and I think I won't be able to for quite a while.

Re: Subj: ???

You don't, but I do. If I go to Kyle to work things out, I'm letting him thrash me more and be horrible again. Not happening. If he wants a change, he needs to realize that he was wrong and come to me. I'm not setting myself up that position.

About: Re: ???

I understand he hurt you with his words, Matt, Truly, I do. And I definitely think his way of acting was not the best way of doing things. I agree with you on that.

But have you considered if you approach him and wish to talk things out, he might value and respect that instead of ripping into you again. From what I have seen in class he is a man who appreciates forwardness and honesty.

Where does any of this imply I agree with you deserving things?

Dennis? Our project went well. We received an A-. We have class tomorrow again and we will be receiving new project and I would enjoy working with him again.

Matt, will you at least think about what I said? That is all I ask. Please?
