I spoke up and defended you and now I shall do the same for Preeti, who is one of the kindest souls I have met on the platform. I am sure her intent had nothing to do with a publicity stunt as you called it here. I am sure she genuinely felt abused. Your point about she may not have considered or realized how you would be hurt by being publicly chastised is a fair point for you to raise but accusing her of doing it for her own gain is not fair.

PS: the reason I am awake now (it's not quite sunrise here) is I had awoken from a dream in which a young woman I was trying to help was acting petulantly toward my mother, who also had not acted great towards the young woman. There was some source of conflict between them. I was wondering why I had the dream and who the players represented. I think Preeti's energy may have come in as my mother and your energy as the young woman. Now I'm going back to sleep.
