I feel that you took offense. I did not mean my comment in that way. At all.

Please know, I do not accept dictates. Including, I find I must add, the one above that you dictated to me, telling me in no uncertain terms who I am (someone who accepts dictates!).

I read your piece. I questioned what I read in your piece. I shared with you an alternative perspective. I thank you for reading and sharing back.

We can only speak, think, and share that which we ourselves are. My take!

Take care!
