I've been thin...Thanks for the feedback Kate. <br /><br />I've been thinking about 'gutless' vs 'cowardly' question. I agree with you that 'gutless' is informal, and less arms-length than 'cowardly', and I think that's why I chose it. <br /><br />For me 'gutless' intones not only the aggression of the letter-writing act, a metaphorical punch, but also alludes to the kick-in-the-guts effect of the letter on the victim. <br /><br />"Gutless' does involve me in the drama. Call me soft, but that's how it felt listening to someone pour their heart out over coffee.Lucy Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481069861817380041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208651368948209448.post-75877856185417447372010-05-31T16:25:00.151+10:002010-05-31T16:25:00.151+10:00Send links at will!Send links at will!Lucy Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481069861817380041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208651368948209448.post-70893722550538332302010-05-30T21:02:22.521+10:002010-05-30T21:02:22.521+10:00Lu

For me, it's too informal, and too involved. Maybe 'cowardly'? <br /><br />Can I send the link to a friend?<br />KateUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698978818387198057noreply@blogger.com
