I'm sorry I misinterpreted what you wrote, Simon.  Here's where I'm coming 
from: just before you wrote "they only matter because it's me I guess" on this 
thread, you wrote on a private chat to me: "do you get paid for that LOL :) […] 
this is a joke isn't it" and I put two and two together.  I didn't know how 
else to interpret what you wrote.  I'm happy that I was wrong.

In that same private chat, Simon, you wrote (I'm paraphrasing here) that once I 
used the word "fuck", I ended the possibility of having a civil conversation.  
I admit that I used it for shock value, because I wanted to convey how I 
thought you were being disrespectful of others' opinions.  I'll stop doing 
that.  I apologize for offending you, Simon.

But I won't stop speaking up when I see a problem with the way we conduct our 
affairs on this project.

Steve
