Lots to regret in this for me. One huge one is that this has been aired in public. Maybe I should have kept stum when Bill aired his grievances. I did for a while but eventually felt that some explanation was needed. If you think that there is an intensity and relentlessness surrounding Bill’s grievance … you should see the phone and e mail record I’ve endured over the last 18 months. I certainly do regret responding to the initial request for personal contact and meeting a couple of years ago. A sobering lesson in this modern age where social media brings us into social contacts which are not altogether natural.
My offer to meet Bill for mediation with a mutually trusted 3rd party still stands… but I have no confidence that a one to one will be productive. I do hope that we can both agree to disagree and finally move on … let’s see.
