you can reply all you want. what you said frustrated me because i cannot tolerate unwelcomed criticism. i hope you understand where im coming from.
let me give you an example.... (very off the wall and exaggerated example)
if you were a shy troubled little boy who gathered up just enough nerve to go say hi to his teacher, when he really needed help with something.... and she, instead of listening to his question, told him that his zipper was down or that he mispronounced a word or that he needed to speak without spitting.... he would feel criticized and may not want to ask her anymore questions.

thats an exaggeration of how your off the subject criticism or suggestions affect me. i am not a little boy. but it certainly hits a nerve.
