<p>^ I still don’t see it that way, however, I will accept that I MIGHT have been somehow misunderstood in my trying to explain the variant definitions of embarrassment (from a blush all the way to outcast) and asking people to not take it all so literally. But to say, “an equal number of people at Midd who are embarrassed that your son got in because he can run around with a football” was absolutely personal and an attack made doubly inflammatory when he/she goes on to equate football players to a drug problem in the same post. How anyone can defend what was written as understandable or acceptable (and continue to defend it) is pretty offensive all on its own. </p>
<p>In any event, I fully and whole heartedly agree with mythmom on this subject (this very same son has a first edition of every Potter book written). I will not be commenting further.</p>
