> It is never pleasant to contemplate the possibility of receiving an angry babblemail. It's not unusual to have more than one motive to do something. Whatever Phillipa's motives, she did convince him not to do that. It's not so easy to discourage an angry husband, in my experience.
I wonder why Phillipa felt the need to tell Maxime that her husband was seething and so on and so forth? I believe that was done to intimidate. No matter that she "stopped" him. The damage was done. Intimidation? We don't have first hand knowledge that her husband was angry at Maxime.
Dinah, in your years of being on Babble, do you recall any instance where this sort of thing happened with the Phillipa?
Do you have any recollection of people complaining about babblemails and emails ? Anyone at any time.

> Any attempt to de-escalate a situation like this is a good thing. For whatever reason.As I said above the damage was done. A verbal assault/threat can be as scary as a physical thread/assault. I know that from personal experience.
I hope this doesn't get swept under the rug.
