While it’s good that we are more aware of things that can make some people act differently through no fault of their own, I wonder if it’s good that we search for those reasons so hard and make excuses for that behaviour, that we forget some people are simply jerks. And to write and take you to task for being nothing other than polite to this guy, is even ruder. Besides, one reason many of us keep reading is for your way to bring humour to knitting, you travels, and life in general.
