So she, she's like, "Take it personal." And she said, "You know, when you're younger and you accidentally hurt people, um, it's fine.

I am very much of the, um, of the idea that I still think that some people don't know what they're doing.
If this is a first time, I'm not saying like give everybody three chances, that's for sure.

You know, notice and then you just, you give access according to what you see as patterns.
