obviously i don't get here enough ;-)
personal criticism can be hard to take. a little while back clearskies offered some personal criticism of my posting style and... i felt offended, yes.
and i reached out to other babblers for support and validation because the criticism actually hurt me and i felt very self-conscious indeed about my posting style.
but... after a day or two i was able to see that she didn't intend to hurt me.
i think...
what happened here is similar to what happens in other places too... one person is hurting and we think that to support them we too have to rail against their alleged 'persecuter'
the trouble comes when we know their alleged 'persecuter' and are we really forced to take sides?
hmm.
only in high school i would have thought...
