In any event, I also maintain my earlier point. I don't see how you can seriously argue that the damage caused by the two situations are, objectively considered, of the same type or remotely same magnitude.
It is not for you to decide the level of magnitude that something impacts someones feeling or emotions. That's for the individual being affected to decide.
