Aww, thanks, CE!!

Permission granted

I don't think I made an enemy. He and I have connected before, and I am not currently the target of his anger. He said that when I do address him, it feels non-confrontational to him, that I do it in a way that helps him receive it, even if it's stuff that's hard to hear. (For example, we had a whole exchange about how I perceived him as acting arrogant, how it's what seems to be a defense mechanism at work to help shield him from feeling anger, hurt, embarrassment, etc. I guess I worded it in a welcoming way.)

I am just wondering if my comment will end up doing more harm than good. Had he not committed to remaining non-violent, I'd imagine that I would've followed through on not returning to group T AND I would've been furious with T for letting him stay.
