I'd quite like to drop this topic, and get on with the work at hand.
But before I do that, I ask you to consider one thing: if you were
mistaken about my words (or their intent) on this occasion, isn't it
also possible that it wasn't the first time?
I never had the opportunity to sit down to talk with you face to face
before now. If things had been different (if we managed to talk at one
of the PGCons before COVID, say), then maybe this incident would have
happened in just the same way. I can't help but think that some face
time would have prevented the whole episode, though.
You have every right to dislike me on a personal level, of course, but
if you do then I'd very much prefer that it be due to one of my actual
flaws. I'm not a petty man -- I don't resent the success of others.
I've always thought that you do rather good work. Plus I'm just not in
the habit of obstructing things that I directly benefit from.
