Unless we've had similar experiences we can't possibly understand the depth of feeling and the impact.

Yes no doubt this is true, but is it an excuse for some of the abhorrent behaviour that some exhibit in the public arena?

What part of life damaged Sheedy, Bolt, Jones, Credlin, Panahi, etc., etc.?

It seems there is a difference between demanding to be treated with respect, and treating others with respect, and that double standard / contradiction might be at the root of much of the public disdain!

For that matter I see the same double standard in the behaviour of someone like Goodes, who exhibits a tendency to send a message that the end justifies any means necessary, which apparently labels me as racist. Of course if questioned he would deny that allegation, but the problem is his inclusive words and actions do not match the sporadic rhetoric.

You can't make peace with someone by getting frustrated and smashing a metaphorical rock on their head, just once terminates the relationship!
