A quiet word at someone's work station goes a lot further than loud criticism or group instruction.
I was wondering if this sort of thing happens with your coworker?

There might be something to this.
If there is, it would be a result of her reacting to expectations she had regarding what I
might say (and being wrong). If so,
maybe she wouldn't provide the same kind of nasty response, if I were to find a way to speak to her more privately. On the other hand, privacy might be the veil she needs to create a more convincing and devastating lie (say she were jealous of me or truly hostile for some reason, which she might be).
Unfortunately, I cannot simply speak quietly because I have a hearing loss and the area where we work usually has some background noise. I also have personal space issues and I don't like people (esp. the opposite sex) creeping up really close to me like some people do when they are whispering (unless were dating).
