No I think you intepreted the thread correctly, she was seeking comfort and validation. I just didn't feel compelled to give her any more than she had been given by everyone else.

I guess it just depends on how you interpret a thread. To me, I saw what she wrote and felt that I would write positive, true, nice things...the sort of things I would want and need to hear after going through such an experience. I'm not saying anyone should be coddled after making mistakes, but it's not like she posted saying "hey, why don't you tell me stuff I did wrong!". I mean right in the beginning she says she needs some love, so presumably most people would respect that it's her thread and comment accordingly. To me, it seems tacky to post constructive criticism- regardless of whether it is personally directed at anyone or not- under such circumstances. But I doubt that you (James) were trying to be rude, and I'm sure that many people feel it is perfectly ok to offer up such thoughts in this context. It is entirely possible that I'm projecting my sensitive nature onto others. So enough thread highjacking, points made.
