I admit that I had my group meeting this afternoon.
I admit that it was great until the grumpy 80 yr. old woman in there made a comment that people who do sparring matches for martial arts are the same as soldiers who bomb orphanages overseas in war time.
I admit that her comment set the room on fire because none of us agreed with her.
I admit that I said, "I do not agree with you at all, but you are entitled to your opinion, and I will simply respect that we have to agree to disagree on this."
I admit that she told me to be quiet when I said that.
I admit that I shot her a look that the rest of the group said was full of pure hatred, and made them think I was going to do something inappropriate to her.
I admit that my paid friend and the other paid friend who run the group thought I was going to go ballistic.
I admit that I wanted to, but I did not, although my heart rate went up exponentially and sitting next to her was probably not the best place for me to have been.
I admit that a person's age or personal circumstances are not a pass for someone to behave badly or say any random thing that goes through their mind.
I admit that we all have our shit to deal with, and it isn't a competition to see who's shit is worse.
I admit that if your shit is so crippling that you do not know how to speak, act, or behave with other people while you are in the company of others, then you need to keep your ass at home and don't talk to anybody.
I admit that if someone comes out, and they can't control themselves because they are "just too broken," then they have given implied consent to reap the consequences of their bad behavior, and be called on their bullshit in a way that may not be all that warm and fuzzy.
I admit that I hope this old bitty doesn't come to the next meeting because she is disruptive and rude, rolling her eyes to things people say that she doesn't agree with.
I admit that I already told my paid friend that I was restrained today, but I will not continue to tolerate this woman's constant venom that she brings to the group.
I admit that my paid friend smiled and said, "Don't make me put you on the other side of the room." 
I admit that I said, "My badassery doesn't have boundaries in a room."
I admit that she told me that I'm rotten. 
I admit that I very well may take that as "mean."
I admit that sometimes "mean" can be translated as "blunt honesty."
I admit that I can be ok with that on occasion.
