Dear Tracy,

First and foremost, I value and appreciate your contributions on this site.

For the rest:  I am not offended, not in the least, not even remotely.  I welcome different viewpoints in the discussions.  That's what makes them valuable.

As for overriding my expertise - You are the authority and expert on your experience and perspective.  Each person who contributes to these discussions in the comments and or in the forums speaks ffror their person expertise based on their experience.

I learn from you.  I learn and am inspired by all of you.

If you have something different, oppositional, contrary to say, based on your feelings, experience and perspective, I say, Bring it on!  We need authentic voices that comes from experience and thoughtfulness plus experience and not yet ready for thoughtfulness.  :)

Thank you for being here, Tracy.

warmest regards,

Joanna
