As I said in my first response to you, everything has root causes. Even the fact that we're communicating now has root causes.

The problem, also as I pointed out in my first response, is when you appear to move from discussing root causes for the purpose understanding to discussing root causes for the purpose of excusing or justifying.

I don't think there's any way to excuse or justify what was done last Tuesday, no matter what anybody did to anybody in the past.

But my real point m which I thought I made in my first post, was that, at that time, even sounding as though you were justifying or excusing was horribly insensitive.

And, of course, I am well known here on SI for my exquisite comprehension and practice of sensitivity in posting.
