But...
If I were to name myself Flame, and enter a website proclaiming that I had been attacked at other websites for saying XXXXX, and took the time to look up a subject that I had absolutely no familiarity with but that another poster had expressed vulnerability to, I don't think that bewilderment would be my first response at posters' anger or expressed hurt to my saying XXXXX, YYYYYY, or even ZZZZZ. And even if I were bewildered or surprised, I'd kind of catch on when a whole lot of posters register pain at my words.
Perhaps without a lot of therapy those things aren't intuitively obvious, but I dunno....
Or maybe I'm just a cynic.
It really is kind of you to look at it that way, though, Tabitha. I admire that in you.
