Don't you mean, 'beyond' you?
I understand your viewpoint. I'm sorry the guy wound up so sick too, but you have to admit, that was a really stupid thing to do. As it turns out, it wasn't even his cat. It was a stray.
I only made the comment about liberals, because that is just typical of the kinds of things they do. Sorry, but it's just a cultural observation.
How I wrote “behind” when I meant “beyond” is something I don’t want to contemplate.
This is what in quaint circles used to be called “a tempest in a teapot.”
