Brad, thank you so very much for saying all of this. I don't know why I didn't see it, it didn't show up on the new posts list for some reason, but Al messaged me to let me know this post was here.
Listen, there are plenty of apologies to go around. I apologize to you for being so thin skinned and not just rolling with it. I had no business to talk to you in the manner that I did.
While we are putting things out publicly because PMs are inadequate to cover the situation, let me also say that I was very impressed with how Steve handled the whole thing. I'm sure there was a big part of his instinct that just wanted to put my lights out, but he was extremely rational and able to at once defend you (I am embarrassed that I would require being defended against) and to discuss the whole thing in a very rational and reasonable manner. I know you are very proud and you have reason to be. I appreciate his level headedness when it would have been so easy to go off the deep end (like I did).
