    I hate to be the person to throw a brick into a spinning washing machine, but chill out.

    You’re probably talking to somebody who would agree with you, someone who would be a friend.

    You have a lot of absolutely righteous and justified anger about a situation that they’re attempting to make light of. I can see how you would take that personally. I also would take it personally if I were in your shoes.

    Even though this situation is what it is, it’s still a good idea to attempt to drizzle a little honey on the words that you use to communicate it with them so that you can pull them to your side and explain your reasoning without pushing them out of the social group, right?
