.I hoped that you would come to the meeting in June because it seemed that
you would have something interesting to say.
As far as I am concerned, I still hope that you will come because I, and
many others, think that your presence and your opinions, and how you state
them, would be stimulating. As you say it is good to have more than one
view expressed in a discussion.
I have certainly enjoyed both meeting you and discussing things with you.
Despite your accusations to the contrary, I think of people as people.
I have not attacked you and have no intention of doing so.
