can't answer for "someone"

I do remember that handle but not the thread. There is no way to predict people's responses but would that be nice. People are subject to moods caused by many things. This can change their thinking and their behavior. Maybe they are having a hard time at home..marriage, kids, jobs. People sometimes say things during hard times that they would never say during better times. I have seen people that are in denial over something get really angry and defensive because they are so afraid to accept whatever that truth may be that they have to work extra hard to saty in denial. When people are ready to hear truths, they will but no one can know when that is, even for the person in denial. You have a gift with writing, I have yet to see you say anything that would be interpreted as offensive. You just keep being you. It takes way to much precious energy to worry about whether someone is in the right mental space to hear your words as you intended them.
