I'm not going to flame you, but I will point out how your reply to my post
had nothing to do with what I actually said (or think, or feel).

My amused posting of Zoe's response contained no "dismissal." What led you
to hear a "smug attitude?" I said not one word about my own feelings about
milk - except that one could correctly deduce that I took the milk-free
suggestions seriously since I am the one who brought them up with Zoe.

Perhaps you misread my " gotta love those teens" as me agreeing with her
response. If so, you really made a leap and hammered me for your own
mistake.

>You are hurting my feelings talking about this." (How is that possibly
hurting her feelings?" )

I think her feelings were about not wanting to discuss her skin problems.
She's embarrassed.

I agree with you. The dairy products in my house are all organic. (Except
for the occasional Breyer's Ice Cream).

Okay, I get it, you feel strongly about this issue, but once again I say,
whoa, read again, no dismissal in my post (except by Zoe). Certainly nothing
to justify the above intense - and hurtful - words about open-mindedness and
intelligence.

It's not, but I'm not quite sure how you know me well enough to know that.
