While some of us know your background, Mark, not everyone on this list does
as people join at different times, so please try to give the benefit of the
doubt to people. Marietta obviously takes how children are reflected

for the CoC reference to come off as threatening, just to back up why she
was taking the time out to speak up that she was upset by what was said.
