This is fair. In hindsight I don’t think I handled it the best way possible, but I won’t apologize for being concerned.

It’s natural to be suspicious of things that are out of the ordinary. And on top of that biology we are hammered with stories non stop about the worst in people....

But whenever I get to “somebody needs to think of the children” or “can never be too careful” I try to gut check myself a little and think about what risk is actually in front of me. Those are normally stand ins for “there’s nothing reasonable to be worried about but I’m letting myself get worked up for some reason”
