I saw the conciliation in your post, Nick.

I'm sure we can assume that you meant deep down within yourself you know that Gabbi is a wonderful person.

Or that her surface wonderfulness is so obvious to all (as indeed it is) that you are just affirming that that surface wonderfulness is also bone deep and not a bit superficial.

Which as a long time friend of Gabbi's, I can attest that it is. I've never met anyone so able to be compassionate, certainly not myself.

We all say things that come out in a way we never intended. In fact there was another case of that, which we have luckily convinced Gabbi was not at all worth blocking herself for, since it was inadvertant and she apologized when she realized the timing made it sound differently than she had intended.

I think that ending the cycle includes accepting the possibility that well meaning people can have misunderstandings, and that they can be repaired. Not always with more words, since if you're anything like me you might find yourself getting in deeper and deeper with every word spoken. :)

Shall we call this entire last few days a series of misunderstandings that everyone regrets and move on from there?

That's not directed at you specifically, Nick. It's just a rhetorical sort of suggestion.
