For Josh: Apology for (apparent) Unintended Offence

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I can understand that. My Spousal Overunit has also been known to
jump down the throats of jerks who treat ESJ as a huge undifferentiated
slum/barrio. I don't do that, but I also know better than to think that
way.

Oh, and gracious apology noted and accepted.

As for that: I do not intend to be coldwatering it. I have a personal
approach of looking for rocks and shoals long before the shore is even
visible, which leads people to think I'm a naysayer. I'm really not; I'm
really hoping to avoid the rocks and shoals and get to shore safely.
Which is a lousy metaphor because I'm not even comfortable on boats,
but there it is.

Just call me the white boy who cried "Wolfe."
