Morning, Saffie. I couldn't agree more! I can just imagine the survey being administered to a random group.
"Of the following life experiences which you have suffered, which was the worst:
a. rape b. physical abuse c. sexual abuse of your children d. infidelity
Please rank the pain of each on a scale of one to ten."
Oh good lord. YOU'RE COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT, LOTUS! This is HARDLY a random group! This is a group of people who have actually gone thru these various, godawful experiences in their lives, and this is what they're reporting!
If you have a problem with it, take it up with Harley. You're shooting the messengers. As for me, I think I'll head down the road apiece and help a newbie. Much less shrill over there.
