You seem to be full of your own impressions. These types of posts are sometimes hard for the reader to completely grasp what the writer is saying. Sometimes a reader tries to read between the lines in an attempt to fully understand the post, sometimes the reader has a personal motive for filling in the blanks.
Have I stated that you weren't doing some good work in your own way?-please show me that post. Have I asked you to join my "agenda," whatever that may be?-please direct me to where you got that impression. Who have I said that I wanted to help, in your opinion? Where did you get the impression that I wanted you to follow this supposed "agenda," and how did you get the impression that I was angry? Who have I attacked over the Peter correspondence? You? If you can be specific, so that I can understand what you are trying to say, I will have a better idea of why you made the above post. What exactly do you believe I need to apologize for? You sound as if I had made a personal promise to you and then broke it. I made no such promise, but I would be willing to have you email me privately and give me the reasons why the correspondence is important for you to read. But I can't promise you that I will agree with your reasoning. I do promise you that I will at least listen.
Maybe you are "doing all that you can to help people." Maybe you feel attacked when I don't agree with something you've stated, or with an impression you have. Maybe you get angry when I don't post correspondences from Peter. But these are merely potential assumptions on my part. I would rather that you reply with why you specifically feel these things instead of me relying on my impression of who you are and what you want. I'm really an open and honest guy. I made it very clear that I would decide when,why, and where I would ever post any correspondences. Why would I apologise for such clarity? Why not be sincere and honestly tell me what is bothering you? Why work on mere impressions when I am giving you the opportunity to deal directly with me and base your opinions on specifics?
No one has made me angry in either their questions or responses since the beginning of this thread. I may think some of the responses are childish and immature, but I also understand that I have a mere sampling of an individual when they make a post. I really have no problem in trying to understand you, or anyone else who posts on this board. But you are instrumental in that process. The more I know about you and your concerns, the better I am at doing that. So, I am asking for your help in understanding what you are trying to convey. Thanks.
