The odd thing is after her dozen or so lines of nastiness, she then started a new paragraph and proceeded to make pleasant chit chat.

I hate to sound cold, but it's been years since I've had contact with her and her telling me she respects my opinion and then not even waiting until I reply to say all that stuff to me just turned me off completely.
If there was to be a renewal of a friendship it would have had to be rebuilt, and at this point I'm flat not interested.
I think certain friends go out of our lives in order for us to learn something about ourselves or to clear the way for someone we need.

I can understand that. Some people, I think, may never get over President Bush's re-election. They just want to keep blaming the rest of us for being blind. And it's very possible that those people just aren't ever going to be willing to see a different point of view.
