[matilda] Re: proposal 3: writing workshop - again

[R&A]

Sorry but this again is no way to behave: Dan is adult enough and strong 
enough to reply by himself: i refuse to submit to all this nonsense of 
"goody friendy boy", ("what have you said to my dear old friend who is 
so good?")

Enough...

Action and reflection, yes; endless regrets for stepping on someone's 
alleged authority: NO.


With all respect, friendship and spirit,
