I really shouldn't let people bother me as much as I do. Especially, when it comes to public online forums. Just when I started feeling a little more comfortable participating I get slapped down. I know I need a thicker skin and sometimes I can cobble one together. Am I really being insensitive?

I don't think so. See my post on the group for more.

And FWIW I don't think anyone accused you of that (I saw you accused of acting dismissive, but that's not quite the same thing, in my mind).

I appreciate that you don't think I'm being insensitive. Being accused of being dismissive is pretty close in my mind to being insensitive.

"Is there some reason you're choosing to be dismissive?" Is not the same as "acting dismissive" in my mind.

OK, that all makes sense.

I think that your accuser is being a boob. Which isn't an unusual situation.

But that's just my opinion.

I hate to caste aspersions on boobs. I likes'em I does. :-)

Thanks for the feedback, my perspective is somewhat off around some individuals.
