> It was directed at me, so I guess I get a right to vote on it. That post hurt a lot, and at a time when I was and am very vulnerable. Yes, reading it activated that inner critical voice telling me all sorts of bad things about myself, like 'I shouldn't be upset, since it's so much worse for someone like Impermanence...' The apology also felt insincere to me.

I hope you don't mind me posting about it on Admin. I guess my first instinct, right or wrong, is to protect the posters I "know" a little more. Probably not necessarily always the best reaction as I don't "know" everyone, but I went with my gut and didn't want to see you hurt any more than you are already hurting.
I'm glad to have seen an apology.
