Reply #62: I completely understand your urge to defend here.

I feel it, too. No, we weren't in the same class, but the OP has posted openly about those struggles. She admits she's confused here, which accounts for the lack of content and name-calling in the original post. It's frustrated name-calling, not malicious.

When a post is this lacking in actual substance and yet so clearly emotional for the poster, it's hard not to respond with a maternal feeling.

Sometimes the kindest and most helpful response is a supportive arm around the shoulder and reassurance that it's okay to be confused.
