I made a pledge, openly, over 3 months ago not to get involved in any feuding, whatever the provocation. I have honored that pledge.

I can assure you I have no intention, none at all, of departing from this practice.

I extend my hand to you in peace, once again, Of Troy. I hope you will take it. Not for my sake. Or for even for your own sake. But for the sake of the Board in general.

No-one enjoys reading these diatribes, Of Troy. It's not that anyone favors either one of us in all of this pointless feuding. It's because the feuding itself is an insult to the Board.

You don't like me, Of Troy. That is clear enough. But I have no reason to dislike you. If I have offended you in any way over the past many months, the offense was unintended. Nonetheless, I apologize for any unintended offense, Of Troy.
