I'd say it would depend entirely on her delivery. It's never been "what you say" but "how you say it," both here and in the world at large. At the time, most of us were supportive of her choice to face terminal illness on her own terms. And maybe that was because we never met her--maybe in real life she was being super sanctimonious about her newfound lifestyle, and your anger at her back then was completely understandable through that lens. All I was doing was recalling a time when you, too, got emotionally riled by someone touting natural remedies for cancer. We all go through periods where certain topics set us off, and a grating delivery just makes us all the more vulnerable.
