An absolutely correct admonition on your part. I apologize for so doing. What I say goes for me, and is not to be taken as some universal judgment. It's irritating when people do that and I can well understand your feelings.


Fine. For you. For me, it's as described. On the internet I'm free. IRL I'm not. I'm only too happy for you that your situation is different and not like mine. But I think we're just chasing each other here. The internet offers great advantages to many, many people, regardless of how it's characterized or how it's used. For me, and perhaps for others in my situation, the internet is protective. For you, it's something different. And that's fine.


Well I certainly didn't mean to hurt you in any way at all. Difference of opinion, even if it results in contradiction, shouldn't be interpreted as intentionally hurtful or even negligently hurtful. My parents were sadly lacking in many respects, but they did make it clear at all times that disagreement is only the beginning of mutual adventure and exploration. Take care!
