Maybe I'll write my own thoughts.
"Asterisks of Outrage--life with Dr. Bob and the errant P.B.C"
(That would be a joke in case y'áll weren't sure)

>Well, I can only imagine, if I'd just witnessed something so horrifying and sickening, something someone had sent me IN AN E-MAIL I d on't think any words would be strong enough, and it's especially understandable if you're needing to talk about it, and so posting about it right away. I mean, just reading about those things is horrifying.
I think Dr. Bob did focus on the "I don't care" and took at as her brushing off other peoples beliefs, but that's not what she meant. And depending on how involved I was with Babble at the moment, I think getting a slap when I'm that justifiably upset could be very hurtful.
