Dear Queenie,
Someone in my family wrote a letter to the editor that was published in our local paper that completely goes against what I believe. One thing I believe in is “freedom of speech”, but I think this was a deliberate attempt to insult me and I want an apology.
Queenie, what do you think?—Offended
Dear Offended,
I think the letter to the editor was a public expression of opinion not aimed at you. If the letter-writer did not specifically refer to you in the letter as disagreeing with them, I think you should ignore it and not feel insulted.
