Another man on this base recently took the time to send me a message
explaining some of the background and circumstances surrounding this echo.
He helped me gain a much better understanding of the purpose behind it,
and some of the reasons for the apparent upset. Bless him.
Mabey I was just brought up weird, but to speak to someone I've just met
and hardly know, and refer to their friend as an ignorant liar strikes me
as rude if not combative. I did not come here to start a fight or to be
sucked into an ongoing one. I came here to learn something about AD/HD.
I don't object to being asked a question, being dumped on is different.
As for getting a tougher skin, I apologise for my emotional shortcomings.
Ridicule and insults do have a way of getting under my skin, and were it not
for the fact that I think your questions had merit and deserved
onsideration
I'm sure I would have just quit posting entirely. Thank you for sharing.
