No worries, Mark--I'm not angry or frustrated with you, and we're still on speaking terms. I just wasn't responding to your comments because you said you needed a break from this topic.
All of us will be having awkward, emotionally exhausting conversations on this subject for the rest of our lives, so I don't have a problem honoring anyone's request to catch their breath a bit now and then.
I did want to say something about what you'd said earlier about judging other people's priorities (in terms of what things get them more upset than others), but it can wait. And it can probably be said better in a poem than in a discussion thread, anyway.
Rogerbob, you certainly recall a different version of Browning's Pied Piper of Hamelin than I do.
