I love the buddhist principles. The way they have to understand what’s going on. Without religious connotations. I’m not religious.

Aww, thanks!
I do try to be cautious with my wording so that my caring comes across, but I also am aware that I can be very straight forward and sometimes very blunt in my communications online, and all tonality is lost as are facial expressions.
If she had seen my face and body language through the screen, she would have known that I was actually giving her many big hugs that would have shown my compassion and caring for her.
But I do need to remember that all of that gets lost through online communications. Sometimes I forget this reality, so I'm going to try to be more aware. This conversation is in fact very helpful, because I am seeing where and how I can improve myself as well.
And this acquaintance may never be ready to see what she does that blocks her own progress. I've seen her online on that site since, and she's still very defensive, which speaks to her fragility I do believe. She came across to me as extremely fragile and sensitive. Nothing wrong with that, but she needed to be handled with with very gentle caring, you know? Blunt honesty wasn't going to work for her.
I love Buddhist principles as well. Life is suffering. And I do believe that to be true! My beliefs are a mixture of religions... I take the best from each and created my own religious belief system. LOL.
