You have nothing to be sorry about @Jacques.

Yes I hope we can work out this misunderstanding with @Former-Member. 

@Former-Member said somewhere she wanted to be friends and I still am open to that ... but I have never in my life made a post that directly criticised someone ... I try to be diplomatic ... and personal ... that is not condescending or trite ... and sadly I share the feeling she spoke of in being deemed of high intellectual prowess but not worthy of a hug too ......I know that sometimes I am very raw and find it difficult to believe that someone is genuine when they say something positive ...yet I thought I shouldnt sit on (hide) that last feeling, it is just a reaction and I can deal with that.

Working through conflict is new for me but I never start an argument .. only did a little bit of debating in year 7.

Here is too good will ...
