The reason I told you I could not continue to talk to you about this at that time was because you were talking about two things - your hurt/anger that people were bailing on you & this conversation, and your need to explain exactly what you meant and what was behind what you were saying. I could either deal with one or the other, and I chose to deal at that time with your hurt/anger over how people were reacting to this conversation, because that was of far more concern to me.

I'm sorry that left you feeling that you were getting no support. I obviously mis-spoke.
