Magnamimous and Gracious are indeed interesting choices (grin)

Dr. Laura isn't available here anymore, but I am a big fan of Miss Manners. And I come from the south, so graciousness has been instilled in me since birth (not that I don't slip up or anything.)

This trait, in my mind has nothing to do with forgiveness, true or false. To me it is a way of "putting yourself above the fray" and to hold your head up with pride, even if you are internally angry. It worked well for me as a kid and a victim of bullying, and it works now.

It's also a way to refuse to to get caught in a spitting match.

Does this make sense?
