If you do want a different perspective, try posting your question to an allergy list.

I see you didn’t want to post that to the list, s you would not publicly show how rude that actually was. 
Be a little nicer next time and I might consider it.

It is not a 2question that I ask lightly, nor is a question I ask simply because I am offended at a little name calling. I spoke frankly to that person and told him exactly what I thought. However, I want to understand all that surrounds this topic. I want to be sensitive to others’ conditions, as I would ask that they be of my blindness. I also want to make sure I know all I can about this issue: from the scientific data to the personal opinions, so that I might become a more well rounded, more thoughtful human being.
