So, nevermind.
Ah.

It wasn't very clear to me in your original post that you were just using the situation as an example. For example, I would have said, "For example, etc." and then I would have followed up with, "I'm just using this as an example to illustrate the point."

When you said, "Why do <i>they</i> ignore it?" I had the impression that you were referring to the explicit person you were talking about in your example rather than a generic "they."

My mistake.

You have pretty much answered your own question though. People ignore the "touchy subjects" for a variety of reasons.
