I can't speak for what's in Kevin's head, but I'm just suggesting that
you may be mistaking the symptom for the disease... In other words,
perhaps its not that the change isn't minimal that he's being
"hostile" about (and TBH I can only really remember one time I thought
Kevin was actually being hostile _at all_, which he and I actually
discussed off list), but rather some unspoken other thing that just
manifests that way.
no, i'm really quite positive about what i'm claiming, having two
specific cases in mind (though finding them again would cost quite some
time, as i remember only the sentiment, not the topics).
kevin's hostility is subtle and impersonal, so he can express it while
being perfectly soft-spoken. but the message *does* arrive, loud and
clear. it says "i hate it when you get too creative".
