I really should know better by now

I don't know why I keep doing it. I relax, I think I'm among friends, I tentatively bring out an idea that's close to my heart and I watch someone jumping up and down on the tiny shining thing because they choose to believe I've said something quite different. I don't think "Wouldn't it be nice if we could change our attitudes to the way we think about work and creativity" is quite the same as "Creative people should be let off work and everyone else should support them"; but I daresay I read old books of logic. Anyway, I don't suppose it would have cost me so much sleep if I wasn't still raw over the other thing, but as it is I don't even have the energy to be offended over what kind of person they obviously think I am.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

I don't think that you wasted anyone's time in this most recent issue. I was certainly intrigued by your thoughts, even though I'm one who doesn't quite get what you were saying. I haven't been able to work out just how best to explain where I think that your thoughts and mine diverge, which is why I haven't posted anything. Rest assured that it caused me to spend some pleasant time pondering and rereading what you wrote. I am sorry that the result seems to have bothered you so much.
