I know this isn't the right time for this, but apart of me feels like it is. I'm not looking for a fight, but it's gonna come out that way because I've been thinking about it and I'm a little tired of people saying the same thing.

"You're not on the team, you don't know any better, you don't understand and you don't know what you're talking about."

Just because we're not on the team doesn't mean we don't know what we're talking about. Maybe we don't know all the details but it'd be really nice if you stop saying stuff like that.

I have my opinions and I reckon I'm allowed to put them out there. I found the last days troubling, from both what's been happening and how it's panned out in everyone around me. I'm not on the team for just that reason. Because I can't do attacks and I can't steel myself from things like someone dying, or someone gettin the tar beaten out of them, even though they've fallen already. I don't care that he's killed millions of people. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't think this is gonna solve anything or settle the upset stomach I have everytime I think about those looks that I caught when they were burnin off their anger. I get it, everyone's mad as hell, but I'm not cold hearted and I'm not like that. I can't relate.

What I have been trying to get across to you is that this is one of those times where your need to handle things your way comes second to other peoples.

You aren't wrong to be worried - you have that right, and I'm sure there's plenty that would agree with you that is an appropriate response, and that being so means that you're a lovely man and a very special snowflake. You are dead wrong, offensively wrong, in your means of handling it.

"I don't have that bravo to do just that"

Then to use an American expression, fucking man up, son. You're not being asked to be cold to it. It is lovely that you are not, and the world is a better place for it. You're being asked not to judge in accusatory tone while everyone copes with getting first hand experience of an attempted genocide. If not being able to do that makes like slightly harder for you, that's called being a grown up.

I didn't want it to come out in an accusatory judgemental tone. I just wanted to talk about it. Sorry.
