Dominic,
My note of yesterday was the best I could do. Embarrassment immoblised 50%
of me. Rush got the other half. And after sending it, I unplugged and packed
my computer kit.
The rest of the day was spent being polite to people and travelling.
This is the first time I have had to say a little more, which I feel is due.
I was careless, but the response I made indicates prejudice. It was an
implicit / explicit accusation.
Your guess / representation of my attitude to you and understanding of you,
remains wide of the mark; but my understanding of how I am responding to
you - in this new light - suggests a substantial burden of the
responsibility of that is mine
I will make no qualification on that because you or my attitude to you never
were an issue in this forum. But if I am so rude to you, in effect, through
my own carelessness and prejudice, then I am going to have a hard time
making my claim stick.
I apologise for what I said and what I implied, without any qualification
Lawrence
