Lou, That wasn't written by me. It was written in another post to me, and I included that post in my reply.
Here is my post:

It is my opinion, expressed before, that there is a lot that is said to you that would hurt me no end if it were said to me. And that it hurts me just to hear it said to you. Some of it Dr. Bob does not address.
And that is what usually hurts me worse. When someone writes something that hurts my feelings, I am distressed. When Dr. Bob doesn't "protect" me in the way I would like him to, I feel angry. Enormously angry.
I'll share with you a story. Once I got so, so angry that Dr. Bob decided a post was not uncivil even though it hurt my feelings that I wrote a horrible angry post. I doubt that it was uncivil because although it was angry, I directed the anger towards myself. It may not have gotten me a Please Be Civil, but it may well have brought the cops to my door. I hit send and confirm, and consider it to be only by the grace of God that the site was down at the time, and my post didn't go through.
So I understand *completely* how you feel. Or maybe you don't. I have to remember that I feel hurt and angry, and that that may not necessarily be how you feel, because we are all different in our responses.
My post to you was intended to address the hurt and anger I thought you might be feeling. Those feelings can eat away at your core, I know from my own experience. I know you have your Gates, just as I have my scriptures, and that your Gates might help your soul to be protected and healed as my scriptures do. I was concerned about your health, Lou, and your feelings.
My apologies to you if I misunderstood what you felt, if I took what I would feel under the circumstances, and assumed that you felt the same when in fact you didn't.
