A technical opinion, and a valid argument, does *not* involve telling me
what my decision process was ("You decided this was smart to do"), or
mocking it as "hillarious" (sic).

Your actual opinion was drowned out by these attacks. And, while valid,
your opinion is very much subjective and I, personally, disagree with it.

I accept your apology and hope this doesn't happen again.

Thanks,
