sweet sabina,

you kindly wrote me:
> jim, buddy, don't sweat it! just as i chose to assume, there was *much* more to your story and history than i knew, and i am quite happy that i chose not to perceive your reply in a negative fashion. don't think another thing about it. i wasn't irritated with you last night and i'm certainly not irritated with you this morning. i've got more to worry about in my life than to go looking for reasons to get my feelings hurt here, where everyone has been nothing but kind to me and there's only ever been a slight miscommunication that was easily cleared up whenever the situation appeared to be otherwise. thanks for telling me your story, in any case. it sounds like it was a very bad situation, indeed. i can see how it would leave quite an impression on anyone.

it is gracious of you to be so decent about this and i apprecaite it very much .... .... your spirit is strong to handle the challenges of your own situation and your campaign for grace, and then deal with my ineptitude .... ...

... i think being irritable is reasonable under the circumstances ...

... i also think that i overreact due to my hypersensitivity to these issues and that nothing you have done has come close to spreading panic or hysteria ... ... and it is not comparable to my enabling that poster to spread psychic mayhem by violating posting policies here ...
... ... given you were advised to post inquiries about grace ... ... and the absence of a threat of self-destruction, .... i think the situation may be qualitatively different .... different enough to warrant a less than totally discreet appraoch ...

... .. ... for instance ...
... ... if someone's claiming a puppy's about to suffer, but there's nothing anyone can do about it ... then broadcasting this would mostly serve to increase the number of people who would not be able to do anything about it, and little else ...
... ... but if someone has lost a puppy and wants help ... then broadcasting that would multiply the number folks on the look out ... which is nearly harmless ... enough so that any incidental hysteria is small enough that it is worth that risk ...

... ... your pleas of concern for gracie have been easily within this second category ... (although i apologize for casting grace as analogous with the puppy ... sorry, gracie) ...

although i'd suspect you've got everyone already beating the bushes ...
i can (Now!) see posting for grace as not having a significant negative impact on the boards' psychic ambiance ...
when compared to the beneficial catharsis from posting (venting) your (our) concerns ... i feel it may be that the detrimental effects of such posts are negligible under these circumstances ... at least until somebody else comes up with other concerns anyway ... ...

i appreciate your good spirit and thank you for your understanding ... ...

thanks,
your buddy,
~ jim
