If I am truthful, the vast majority of my family was killed in the Holocaust, or fighting on the Eastern front. Very few people came home to nothing in a city that was wiped off the map, and my family line has essentially vanished with there being very few of us left. It is a very sore subject, and I hope it doesn’t come across as aggressive or wishing to fight you on this topic. But it is still a very painful topic.
that's really terrible comrade, I'm so sorry for you and your family. I'm sure those experiences and memories have left deep intergenerational scars that linger within you and your family... I hope you can find it within yourself, to use those feelings to motivate in our work changing the world.
Sorry if I came across like a shithead, I understand how easy it is to fall into a defencive mode, arguments online with faceless users are so easy to get out of hand. This felt like a small miscommunication that was leading to upset among people who would otherwise be close allies.
It's so hard to judge tone through text, and I could feel myself starting to bitter towards you. I might have said something curt and defensive myself, if I hadn't run to catch a bus. We're all pretty fragile, it's a lot of practice remaing calm and to realise when we're starting to lash out.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you really seem to be taking some pretty good faith comments very personally, it's not about you or me.
