Re: Secret Santa/Newt P
I quite agree. I appreciate your approach.
No, it wasn't patronising at all. It makes a lot of sense, but it's... well, I suppose it's unique around here. Most are much more quick to defend themselves. And they see you apologising, perhaps, as not an attempt to say you're sorry for the inadvertent injury, but as admission to premeditation. Does that make sense?
I'm sorry. That sounds horrible. I've been mostly lucky. Have you kept up with any of those you've met? Hopefully under less horrid circumstances?
I'm enjoying talking to you, as well. You're very kind to humour me.
