I just wanted to talk about the issue in a honest way, and if that wasn't what you intended fair enough, but this is also a forum so if we aren't supposed to discuss things here I am not sure what this area of the site is for.

Not sure why the double ping was necessary, I'm doing my real life job over here :')

But anyway, I'm not saying you can't discuss things. I'm saying that when you respond to someone who is distressed about something in a way that minimizes their feelings and seems to be making excuses for the thing that's upsetting them, they're going to push back.
