I agree with you here. My perception is that Nathan’s actions were very reasonable. I felt that Daze had already expressed her view on the sofa, before Nathan made his point, so I didn’t perceive it as cutting her off or butting in. And, from my point of view, his reason for doing so was justified - he was defending someone who had been placed in a very difficult lose/lose situation.

Like Nathan, I felt Khaled expressed himself thoughtfully, and explained clearly how he had come to his decision. I felt he handled it well, and didn’t deserve to be verbally attacked at that moment. My perception was that he was trying to say that he had come to his decision in the fairest way he could find, and that made sense to me.

I felt Nathan made his point clearly, calmly and politely, and I can’t understand how it could be perceived as a ‘vicious attack’. In fact, the irony is that Daze’s attack on Khaled was more thoughtless and vicious, than anything Nathan said. In my opinion, he was right to pursue the matter with her, as her comments were not justified. In truth, I think even Daze had recognised that her wording towards him was unfair once she had had the time to think about it more rationally.
