I just listened to this exchange with Milo and I'm pretty sure Tom was being humorous. Milo didn't seem too upset after the conversation changed from the attic/glazed over eyes talk. I think you might have felt insecure about what you were writing Tom on Facebook and then took what he said too literally. That's just my opinion because I'm sure from Tom's tone as he spoke to Milo that it wasn't intended to be as harsh as it might sound.
