I'm sorry if you felt you were being called 'less humanitarian'. If you'll re-read I believe you will find I never said that.
I understand there's a risk of offending someone. I simply believe that when my intuition speaks to me in a situation like that, I'd prefer to follow it.
In this situation, the combination of my intuition and the context left me feelng pretty strongly that I wished I'd had the chance to offer a subtle way to reach out. If I offended someone by saying 'I know what you're going through' - then I suppose there are far worse things.
And I guess at this point, I've attempted every way I know to try and explain my point. I think it's just one we differ on, and that's OK. I'm no 'more humanitarian' than you. I'm just different than you.
