"Etiquette" does NOT dictate snubbing those who have wronged us; avoid them, yes, but the advice to snub them does nothing to elevate the wronged party above the transgressor. I find the advice these ladies give often to be kneejerk and poorly considered, and their formulaic three-line responses are sorely lacking. There is often a deeper lying issue to the problems described in their columns and rarely do they seem to see them, let alone fully understand them.

Regarding "Minnesota," I'm 63 and have had herpes since I was 55. I'm just wondering how she manages to have a stress-free life.

"Etiquette advises snubbing a person who has behaved despicably toward you. When you see Stan in public, ignore him as if he were completely invisible. We hope your anger will diminish in time."

Etiquette is beginning to sound a lot like religion in this column.

Re: Karen
One wonders why you still read this column? Snubbing is perfectly acceptable, and etiquette correct. Maybe not the best way to go for an other type of offense, but would you rather the cuckold pretend nothing happened? The Annies did not suggest that he insult, call out or otherwise make the situation worse. Ignoring the other person's existence is a very good idea, and a mature way of handling the problem, until such a time as the husband is ready to have a civil conversation with his wifes lover...if ever.
