Yesterday I replied to a post from someone in pain with a bit of a harsh, strident tone. The OP replied that s/he couldn't yet do what I suggested (too harshly) and asked me not to judge. I apologized but I don't think it was enough.
The OP is in terrific pain and I made it worse. I am deeply ashamed.
Would sending the OP a PM with another apology do any good?

(14,933 posts)You apologized and we all know you are a very kind person. The OP probably knows it too but is hurting too much to acknowledge just now.

I agree with others that a note certainly wouldn't hurt. Stuff happens, I've never seen any posts from you that would indicate anything else but you being a kind and considerate person.
Peace

I've done the same thing in the past, and yeah...it feels awful later to realize I've hurt someone else.
Some people wouldn't care.
I can see you have a good heart.
