Ok guys....I asked that this one kind of slow.
I think What milady was trying to say was she wanted to have her
thought/idea/opinion accepted as OK for her.....and not feel like she
was being told she was "wrong".....that "facts" made her
thought/idea/opinion wrong. Bottom line, it's about how the message
is delivered....not the data (sometimes called facts, thorough often
"facts" are opinions of experts and pundents, not truly "facts").
Bottom line here is we all have our own thoughts on what works and
doesn't. Two ideas can truly oppose each other.....and ultimately
neither is "wrong".
Lets move on to other topics....this one has reached the point where
it's not about how to help, it's a "who's right" issue now.
