You're also into making subtle personal attacks and then trying to turn it around on the other person. I am not the only one who thinks that way.

I think this requires response.

Naomi was unhappy. I thought I had something to offer. I advised her to focus on resolving the owners' concerns rather than trying to prove her point.

I wish my involvement had ended there. Instead, somebody who in all fairness does have a vested interest but who had not objected to any of the overtly personal comments made by others, popped up to object to a single (irrelevant) suggestion I'd made- that Naomi wanted to be a MVP and wanted to answer questions to support this. Apparently this is a terrible motive for answering questions. It has nothing to do with Naomi's situation especially when she'd said it's not her motive.

What I don't "get" is why you then got involved as well. You didn't help Naomi and apparently you think everything I say is actually an insult directed against you, so what were you after?

If you're going to reply to me, can I just ask that you don't pick through trying to find fault, just take it in the spirit with which it was intended?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
