Maybe we need to pay more attention to this line...
“I might feel differently in a few years, but at the moment my emotions are a bit raw.”
“I might feel differently in a few years, but at the moment my emotions are a bit raw.”
A long time ago, I heard a good piece of advice about not sending certain letters at one's most volatile: at the very least, one may keep the letter around for at least a day before sending out something that one will later regret.
Writing something online is usually even faster and easier than carrying a letter to the mailbox. This ease makes this advice even more pressing.
Also, my thoughts haven't changed since my last post. "My emotions are a bit raw" is still no excuse for "I would like you to die a slow, horrible death"--a phrase which I have never typed as my own words and never hope to type as my own words. That phrase may reflect, at the very least, a severe lapse in judgment, and I suspect that wishing for millions of people to die slow, horrible deaths reflects something even deeper.
