I was agreeing with Auntie Mel on that so it might as well have been directed to me. (You can't tell by reading that sentence, but it isn't meant to sound snotty - just factual. I couldn't think of how to rephrase that better so I'm explaining it instead.)Anyway, I'm sure that Emmy had her reasons for what she said. I'm just saying that as an outsider, who wasn't privy to those reasons, it was chilling to read her response and I think it helps to explain the backlash she's been experiencing.
