[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6885640, member: 177"] Totally not the point. I will risk overstating to make the point: Would you walk up to a veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan who had PTSD, and say, "I know how you feel,"? Probably not, right? Without getting into an argument about degree, the basic logic is the same. Not that you aren't frustrated, but that your frustration should not be compared directly with theirs, and your feelings on the matter are not the same as theirs. (This was a note they gave us in training for convention security - don't compare your own feelings, even if you've been through something similar) I was born and raised in New York. I'm a transplant to Boston in my adult life. Which means I either keep my mouth shut in discussions of baseball, or I say, "Go Mets!" and both sides will shake their heads sadly in pity and leave me alone. [/QUOTE]
