Almost-broken crystal almost breaks up party

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

What should I do?

-- Cousin

Dear Cousin: I don't believe it is getting on a soapbox to say, "Well, I don't like the idea or reality of killing animals." Your cousin does, and you don't. You aren't preaching or advocating for any particular position, but merely stating your own.

The question I have is why you would continue to follow someone on social media whose photos routinely upset you so much.

Dear Amy: I really disagreed with your harsh response to "Wondering what I Owe," the woman whose friend wanted compensation for using her husband's hotel points to pay for an overnight stay.

 

I travel extensively for work and these points are my payback for the hard work of being on the road. I should be able to use them however I like, without being accused of being unethical.

-- Upset

Dear Upset: Many readers agree with you, but I still believe the wife's attempt to profit off of using these travel points is unethical -- or at least unfriendly.
