This was a thin cloak for words which said otherwise. To paraphrase: "You are confused" "You apparently do not know the social contract" I do not wish to drag out the original injury. I am over it. You made an earlier attempt at apology (couched in the words of justification) which I accepted, understanding that it was not your intent to hurt me.
