Petra, you may FEEL the same way Ilse does, but you did not SAY it that way. There's a world of difference in the phrasing. What you said not only made me angry, it hurt my feelings, too. Thus, my response yesterday. As I said in my reply to your message "Whoa!" I'm over that, though. You and I will probably never see eye to eye on many issues, and that's all right, too. We don't have to. But I think it would be nice if we could talk about our differences without belittling the other's feelings or beliefs.
