I read it as the opposite, trying to help them process it as not something deeply malicious targeting them. I'm thankful of the times I took something deeply, then realized it was something else and had a change of heart. This is ultimately what trauma and processing is about: something blindsided you and your initial response is a large field of shock and avoidance, then slowly you process it until you have a practical approach to deal with the thing next time, so it doesn't blindside you again.

That's a really good point. Now that you explain it, its not boorish but insightful. Thanks.

I cannot argue with that.
Also, sharks weren't made by ethically-questionable hackers.
I don't see why you need to dismiss this person's legitimate trauma, seems awfully boorish of you to do so.
