To be fair, I tried repeatedly to make my points as well, but to no avail.

Dramatic and inappropriate? Me?

Can't say I agree with you there, either...certainly no more dramatic and inappropriate than you were when you called Diki out.

I asked that the disrespectful, flippant, and totally unnecessary comments, which I pointed out very clearly, with an explanation why I found them inappropriate, to be acknowledged and then not to be repeated.

Hardly dramatic and inappropriate, my friend, and hardly a task too difficult for someone of Diki's intelligence and character.

I don't expect you to be empathetic, although it might be nice if you could, as you have had to deal with a related situation, but, failing that, I would hope your own experience might remind you to be less judgemental.

Thanks for your kind words about the article in the magazine.
