That's because you are letting your emotions read for you. At no point have I ever said his feelings were rational -- I said that I could understand them. That's a different kettle of fish.
Perhaps you should read the words as they appear on your screen and avoid imputing motives? It will steer this conversation away from the ugliness that is looming.

So what? We've all believed dumb things at one time or another. Are you so churlish you won't let a man grow larger than his past? How pathetic. You should hope that you aren't judged by the stupid things you held dear in your youth.
I could at this point take a shot out of your locker and lay out why I think you're approaching this discussion from your angle ... but I won't. I hope you're decent enough to return the favor.
