By the same token your post made me feel as though my own plans and ideas have meant nothing. I understand the affect on feelings.
He too said it seemed you were the only one who had ideas going beyond food. That my focus had only been on that. Then to acknowledge he has missed things. Is that fair?
I am sorry you felt offended. I'm sorry you felt me defending something that felt like it was dismissed does not meet your ideals of kindness.
