I'll tell you, we were both a little worried about the MC when we met her, she was a little loopy, but that first impression was wrong.
Anyway, one other funny thing today... MC makes us take turns, and if we interrupt, she jumps us, big time. She takes no crap.
So it's my turn to respond to something W said, and I'm about 10 seconds in when W is shaking her head repeatedly. MC stopped me, and proceeded to dress down W, telling her she couldn't invalidate what I was saying by shaking her head, she had to listen to my perspective without any shaking or groaning or anything disrespectful.
Fortunately, earlier, in my first response to W, I had started by saying that I heard and appreciated her perspective, and while I had a different perspective, I could not deny that that was how she felt. I caught MC nodding at that point, so I knew I was ok.
