Easy to take this ethereal "responsibility" when there are no consequences to be dealt with.
True but my favorite is when someone says

"I'm not trying to sound high and mighty here"

While they are BEING EXACTLY that. Meaningless words...

Don't we separate these discussions into threads so we can treat them separately?

Did she resign? Take a bump in pay for the bump in the road?

Of course not because she's not a 'stand by your man' kind of girl in words and something completely different in action.
