Thanks for your kindness, @FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter Certainly I was hurt. But I choose to quit. I will never respond to such kind of threads or such kind of people. Also I will reduce my activeness on this forum. I was attacked out of unknown reason. Possibly it could be I am a female and a non-white. I often feel bad about me being famale and non-white. Who knows how much pride and predudice some people might have. I need to protect myself.
I’m mentally preparing myself to do Santa photos again from 2-4pm at a local grocery store. Squirrelette is actually doing the photography for her 4-H project, I’m managing the people. (Eyes bottle of Ativan again.)

That’s awesome! How did you get into it?
@firemonkey
Do you have an umbrella? Maybe a walk to the library?
I’m a professional photographer (PMed you my biz site).
There you go being offensive. I am one of the least prejudiced people you could hope to find. It has nothing to do with your gender or being non-white . You are not the one that was hurt I was, and you’ve managed to do it twice.
Fell asleep for many hours instead .
It seems I do have a bias but not against non-whites.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you make it out of the house today. You can do it! Rooting for you!
@green5 and @firemonkey
You were both hurt. You were both offended.

@green5 Was offended because I said I was hurt- big difference. She was the one in the wrong . I did nothing wrong.
How do we resolve this conflict?
I consider both @firemonkey and @green5 to be my friends.
hi firemonkey 
i’m seriously considering skipping my dinner and eating cookies tonight lol
@firemonkey
@green5 wasn’t offended because you were hurt. They were offended by your reaction. You could have said, “I am hurt”. But you didn’t. You need to recognize how harsh your reaction was.

I reacted to @green5 hurting me. If had not hurt me I would not have reacted. I am not in the wrong here and I will not be bullied or cajoled into agreeing that I am.
@green5 can you take the first step and apologize to @firemonkey?
You hurt his feelings.
@Green5 There can be no doubt that you hurt me with your comments and were in the wrong, but my reaction was a bit strong. A level 6 slight doesn’t deserve a level 8 response.

@firemonkey I agree with the other people who’ve suggested this: I really don’t think green meant to offend you in any way at all.

I’ll accept that Green’s comments stemmed from ignorance rather than deliberate malice.
