When someone offers you advice or a tip, I don't believe they are "judging your skills as a parent" or how much you love your dogs. They are just offering you information that they think is helpful. You can offer someone a suggestion and not be judging them. I'm surprised you took this so personally, and felt such a need to defend yourself, and your situation. The PM you sent him seemed over the top harsh, and I don't understand your need to need to publicly vindicate yourself. This incident has been blown way out of proportion, and it reminds me of a quote from Shakespeare, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." |
