Could you please discuss your personal problems OFF-list? I personally find this extremely embarrassing!
This is nothing personal. The promises that Richmond was speaking about have nothing to do with person to person promises. The red herrings etc. are about things that I got him to believe could be possible but didn't happen.
The reason Richmond mentioned these things were not to make a personal attack. The reason he mentioned them because he is thinking. He is trying to understand what the situation is. So, he gets into some old memories to try and find some answers. His trust has been broken. I know this.
This is not between Richmond and me. Richmond expressed things that I understand are in the mind of many other users, especially from the education group. Well, at the very least, I know this for myself. My trust had been badly broken as well. To the point that almost a year ago, I had decided to turn my back from revolution, never use it again, and simply spent 6 months in a strictly web-based project. Then things changed. Then I got persuaded to give my trust again.
I do believe that it is important to be aware of this, of the hidden reasons Richmond made reference to something quite old. The problem then is that Richmond said things that implied I was in the habit of making promises I wouldn't honor. Yes, I got Richmond believe in a vision or a dream that didn't happen. I am very much culprit of this. I plead guilty to this. But I am not aware to have been culprit of making explicit promises I didn't honor... and if I did so, then my claim was honest, I would like to know and correct this. I had to address this. The reason I had to address this is because I may come to make promises in the near future. I don't explicitly make promises, then that means that I can't guarantee I can stick to them. However, if I explicitly make promises, that will be that I very much intend to stick to them.
As you can see, I am walking on eggs (as we say in French). It is so easy to embarrass yourself when walking on eggs ;-).
