Barney,

I don't think you offended anyone...it was just very apparant that you were really upset. It almost sounded as though you and NG were in a discussion, right at that moment. It probably just really hit home with many of us.

You do have a right to your boundaries and putting a boundary on physical violence is a pretty good choice in my book. I'm glad you gave props to NiceGal too for the work that she's done on that front Recognizing improvements such as that and validating them are very important when it comes to working towards real progress.

((((Barney & Nicegal))))
