Whilst I was intending to follow Raphael's advice regarding engaging
in this discussion I am unfortunately compelled to provide some
response.
I was deeply saddened and confused to read your message given the
amount of time and energy we have expended in interacting so
constructively over the years. It came as quite a surprise.
Unfortunately, what you wrote is — at best — an entirely misleading
characterisation of the situation.
I am further disappointed that you took an approach that could
regrettably be considered as manipulative. You are well-aware that I
have been nothing but scrupulous and gentlemanly with regards to your
personal privacy and thus I would refuse to cite any outside or
otherwise offer any objective rebuttals to your claims on a public
forum.
However, for the avoidance of all doubt, I repudiate your suggestions
in the strongest possible terms and I cordially invite you to withdraw
your statements.
In the interests of reducing the temperature I will refrain from any
further participation in this thread. I genuinely wish you all the
best in what you are looking for.
Regards,
