>I thought you'd gonna tell me that I shouldn't be so harsh toward Marcia. And I was prepared beforehand to soften my criticism. But were you? As I read your words (but there may be a language problem here indeed) you are trying to start a whole new thread, this time about compassion in all its aspects. I think that diverges attention also. The compassion John Ryan asked for was concrete and valid. The act of Marcia may eventually have really negative, economical and therefore social and psychological impact on someones rest of life.

You are a piece of work. I'm not trying to create any new thread. I merely responded to your assertions of compassion. Marcia is not responsiblie in any way, shape or form, for any impact on Naomi's life, economical, social or otherwise. Naomi is!
