Not an insult at all.

That's the point you don't get about any of this.

One has no control over another's acts.

But one has absolute -- ABSOLUTE -- control over how one decides to perceive them.

If one wants to consider something an insult, it is, whether or not it was intended as such.

If one doesn't want to consdier something an insult, it isn't, whether or not it was intended as such.

I don't consider that you are insulting me at all. I just consider that for the time being you have decided you want to close yourself off from someone whose different understanding of one's responsiblity for oneself you choose not to deal with.

That's, of course, your choice. But your decision to close down your horizons is no insult to me at all.
