See, this is exactly what I was talking about, in reference to the church mandated 2 week dating cycle before marriage. Witness, our first few interactions on here were friendly, so I was thinking we were liking each other, and was going to pop the question. But now look at us. On a path toward mutually assured dispisal.
I don't dispisal you. On the other hand, dispisaling someone non-mutually will make you go blind. I think Some Schmo told me that.
I think, you think, you have disarmed a landmine. If that is what you were thinking, I think you have. Thanks.

And by the way, I now declare "dispisal" a word. I can't help it.
n. dispisal
1. The feeling associated with resisting contempt
2. Non-despising behavior
ETA: It is incorrect to say you dispisal someone/something. It's not a verb. Thus sayeth the Schmo (only because I know how much you love grammar lessons, dantana).
ETA2: Before you say anything dantana, I know it was Lem who used it as a verb. In that case, the word hadn't been defined yet, and she used in a humorously incorrect way even if it had. Either way, it made me laugh, so it was ultimately correct usage.
ETA3: I also recognize, dantana, that you likely didn't intend the meaning I've assigned the word. I believe you were going for some noun form of "despise" and typed something that, if you think about it, might be the opposite.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Thank you for correcting my verbiage, I will be sure to use the correct nouniage going forward.
Speaking of nouniage, I've given it some thought and with your permission, I would like to add a third, albeit obsolete definition:
3. archaic, Obs.; "Mutual dispisal," referring to dispisal that used to occur on Wednesday evenings in various 'ward', 'branch', and 'mission field' settings, although occasionally taken on the road*. [*see 'roadshow', also sadly Obsolete.]

Now that was some fun dispisal.
That absolutely sounds like one of the historic usages that contributes to its modern meaning. I can't express the amount of dispisal I experienced in such meetings.
ETA: I wonder how much of that was mutual. hehehe

She found herself walking the aisle
She thought it felt like a mile
She started to grouse
At her near future spouse Those words don't rhyme with dispisal
