elloellenoh asked: I just read your explanation about "punching down" and literally had a light bulb moment. I don't think I've ever had a clear understanding until now, and I hate to think I was ever dense about it, but I guess I have been. It's probably because when these things happen, everything is said in the heat of emotion and not rationally. But this was the most well reasoned explanation I've read. I feel like this post should be required reading for all new authors and I'm glad I read it. Thank you.

Thanks for that! I’m just glad that what I wrote was useful :)
