I bite my lip on a regular basis.. in fact I was trying to describe to 
someone why I absolutely could not tolerate someone at the stable (this gal 
is a head case and an accident waiting to happen)..
 
I tried to explain that aside from person differences and/or a personality 
clash, that she's made me comprimise my ethics..
 
In other words if her filly cast as she does regularly I would not go in to 
uncast the filly.. or if her mare was turned out and seriously hurt itself.. 
I would not lend a hand to help. Simple issue: If anything happened where 
this gal could find the option to blame it on me or anyone else for that 
matter, she would and then she'd turn around and sue..
 
I find it very difficult to deal with this.. but I also have a responsibility 
to my gals and I'm not going to give them up just because of a nut case. Let 
me tell you that there's been at least one incident where I was sorely 
tempted to floor this gal.. and I've rescued her from at least one situation 
where a stud was going to seriously hurt her more then he had already.
 
Sigh...
