    And its long in the past, my friend. But the more you reveal, the more foundational the experience sounds for you.
    Step back. Look again. It helped make you who you are.

      Well, I’m glad you have a such a broad picture of my psychology from a one off Internet comment about an event that I hadn’t thought about in years. It didn’t make me who I am, the people I chose to spend time with and the excellent teachers that taught me did. Encouraging a lopsided debate about a topic where even discussing the racist bias isn’t allowed is not something that teacher did to help teach or form me.

        You brought it up, friend. And you were pretty emphatic about it. Read what you wrote.
        Seems good to me. Nurturing experiences are great, but conflict is frequently formative.
