I am slow to take offense with friends. If I didn't trust their character, they wouldn't be my friend. So I give them the benefit of the doubt, and accept their judgment in handling a situation as reasonable, even if I don't know or understand all the reasons. That's what friends do. Letting it bother you, even all this time later, is NOT what friends do. The fact of the matter is, they may have had valid reasons for doing it this way, they may have had reasons you don't consider valid, or they may have simply forgotten. In any of these situations, being upset with your friend, and even holding onto it after the fact, are just as poor of behavior as the slight you believe you have received.
