Guest guest Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi, Debbie (and geiglecher--I'm not clear whether what I wrote bothered you, too) . . .I'm very sorry I offended you. That wasn't my intent at all, though now, looking back, I can understand why you took it that way. Maybe if I explain where I was coming from, that might help.I don't feel I was being judgmental of you or anyone in particular, even though it may have sounded that way. In fact, I try very hard NOT to judge people. In this case, I imagined myself in na's position, thinking that she might feel her words were being dismissed simply because of her age. All I wanted to do was to reassure her that she wasn't alone, and that in my opinion, there are other factors involved.Anyway, I hope you decide to stick around in this group--I'd hate to think my remarks were the cause of you leaving. Email is tough. It's so much harder to misinterpret each other because all we have is text--no tone of voice, facial expressions, body movements, etc. This just underlines the importance of really thinking hard about what we write and how it might come across, so that we don't accidentally hurt each other.Like I just did to you. I apologize, and I'll be even more careful about how I say things in the future. This is a good reminder for me.Thanks for your understanding,-Mayuri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
