This is where I was trying to get you to go the other day, F -- to tap into a little of this righteous indignation.

Yes, you have to BALANCE that with compassion and -- when it's time -- forgiveness (the "loving" half of the "loving detachment" MWD teaches us to strive for), but what I was hearing from you in that "I feel so sorry for her" b.s. was whole-hog in the other direction.

BALANCE.
