This is odd, I said nothing toward you to cause this outburst of ugliness. And I never said you should care about me or my emotions. Why you've chosen to go down this emotive road is strange.

I simply said that dialogue in a meaningful way requires trust on some level. And I disagree that it is somehow courageous and virtuous to go out of your way to dismiss someone's feelings of loss toward their children leaving the nest, then use it as an opportunity to toss darts at someone you find "Icky".

How that equates to forcing anyone to roll around on some emotional tampon is truly bizarre. I simply call it common decency.

Sorry that I have offended you in the past. I don't even remember us having an unpleasant conversation except on maybe one occasion. But it was obviously a lot uglier for you than I imagined.

Have fun slapping eachother on the back for encouragement. Yes, you are such a wonderfully brilliant and intelligent person.

See ya.
