I didn’t think you were trivializing it either Pat. You are too pure of heart for that! My reply was directed at the FU but I hate quoting long posts. 😔😔. I see now that I need to be more careful about that in future!! Your wee post I would have quoted. (By the way, I love that your posts are short and to the point. It makes them easy to respond to.)  I happen to think you did the exact right thing in the Ruby episode. And hitting unfollow when you can is an excellent strategy. I’ve done it too. And sometimes it doesn’t get any bigger and it goes away. I’ve seen misunderstandings like that. And I’d love to see this die down. I tried once before in another thread and I wasn’t going to post here again until I saw that I might have hurt your feelings unintentionally. I’d never aim for you Pat - I like you far too much and you’re far too good a person. Carry that forward please. And you’re exactly right. Others want to make their point and then people feel compelled to respond.
