I agree.

But also, my truth is not your truth, nor another's truth.

And, each of us has a new perspective from each other, that's what makes PC so great!

Can one also assume another is assuming, and thus be wrong? Assumptions are often correct. Sometimes what might look like an assumption, is really a well analyzed thought process.

For me, Rhapsody, I try to take what someone says "at face value." That means unless the history is strong with a member (and unwaivering) I try to read just what they posted, and respond to that (not reading into it, nor thinking they just did that or said that or we just went over that...)

I'm sorry you are fighting with this hurt.
