With YOU personally for calling me out? Yes, unfortunately. With being called out? No, I needed it.

  I really don't understand that. It reads like 'shoot the messenger'. I'm not selling anything Zack, I don't need to. HN is a resource and I don't like it when people treat resources this precious like just another thing to burn on the way to the top. I've spent a lot of time here trying to help and befriend people and it genuinely ticks me off when people play tricks like that. It looked like that was your viewpoint and I strongly disagreed with it. If it had been anybody else my response would have been exactly the same. I think no less of you because of that incident, in fact your response at the time was extremely candid and honest. To hold a grudge this long about something that you admit you needed being called out for is not consistent with that.

    You're right. You've also helped me observe weaknesses in my character that should be addressed. Thanks.

      And I should have probably vented my frustration in an email to you instead of in public. Apologies for that.
