Dear John,
"we" all know that using word "we" in such context ("We know what you
really meant") is "whole collective force vs. just single person"
undisguised manipulation. ("it doesn't take a mind reader") Admitting
ability of mind reading even without using specific mind read skills
confirms your haughtily attitude even more.
("and if the unpleasantness") All unpleasant in this conversation is not
your position about the ports, it can rightfully exist among other
positions, with agreement or disagreement from others, it is normal, but
only your superego-style to handle communications (f.e. by accusing me
of dirty tricks of changing my words meaning), this is not productive
and not acceptable.
I may disagree with your position, but I admit it is consistent and have
its place. But I can't accept anybody attempting to speak with me in
such tone with insulting assumptions on any subject and need a little
bit of respect to feel pleasant.
So I prefer to stay away of speaking with you for a while not on this
subject only, but on all other subjects too until this situation will be
changed, I hope.
Sincerely yours,
