Y'know how sometimes, people you know do things that you know are a Bad Idea, but you also know that if you mention that you think it might be a bad idea, it will cause All Kinds Of Drama to explode all over your life

I suppose I should have actually made the 'say anything to that person' an explicit part of that last sentence. I do sometimes vent about such things to neutral third parties or in anonymized form here.

But if I do that, I try to make sure the person in question is never aware of it.

In such a case, Falstaff was right about discretion being the better part of valor. *cheers you on in sensibility*

Yes, and "Because you wouldn't have believed me" isn't a satisfactory answer, even if they know damn good and well it's true. Keeping one's mouth shut and letting the School of Experience be the teacher is indeed the best course in such situations. A little private gloating when you're vindicated is okay, though. :-)

I'm still working on it, but some recent experiences have at least shown me the right-headedness of your way, Sensei. Still working on it, you know?
