At this point, I think I also need to apologise, because this problems are partly also there because of my childishness.
At this place we have to make a separation between the cause of an effect and the responsible of an effect. In this case the cause of the effect (my nose-rubbing) was a bad feeling, caused by a sentence like: > Sjoerd, Where do you get this idea? I can't affect feelings, so I am not responsible for that, but I *am* responsible for my choices. And, as you pointed out (and you are very right about that), it *was* my choice to rub your nose in it again, even *after* I read Scott and Ken's posts (can you believe...). I'm sorry. Having said this, I think we both learned something here, but I also think it is no good to withdraw, because at least I accepted your apologies, and if you withdraw, I (and I hope *we*) will miss you here, and not because of your contributions, but because of your person. > regards > David Regards, / Groeten, Sjoerd _______________________________________________ improve-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/improve-revolution
