Good point, Mal. I guess that's what I was thinking with this rule...

So I guess yeah, you can walk out, but be sure that it's not a "I'm walking out and leaving you forever" thing. That's how my mom and/or dad always did it... it was more of a threat/intimidation tool to get a reaction, not a genuine gesture of "I need time, let me cool off." But you're right, I think, given that context.
Thanks, Elphaba... though I don't know about being wise, since true wisdom is not only knowledge, but actually being able to practice such knowledge consistently. Which I do not!!
But I am working on it.
