I love this thoughtful post and agree with everything you say. Thanks, peg.I'm going to sit back and reflect on all this and try not to act impulsively. I think you are so right that I may have planted a seed in her brain and maybe that's enough and I can move on.
I have to see.

> Hey, I'm glad you remember me. I always read all of your posts, although I know I didn't usually post much myself. I'm always frustrated by my lack of time for that. It truly is good to see you posting again.

I can't imagine that anyone who is interested enough in the internal workings of a mind to become a T wouldn't become even a tiny bit self-reflective after receiving such a negative response. Even though obviously she's choosing to be reactive initially. I don't think you would necessarily need to say any more to get a little bit of doubt going in her mind.
