Yeah, well, I don't have any illusions about being actually close to you, either—even the first time I was here I know it was more that I was one of the people you sometimes tolerated.
[Jesus Christ, this is stupid. They're picking a fight over private thoughts that should have never been plucked from their heads in the first place. Ugh.
Well. One of them is going to have to make the first non-bitchy overture and it should probably be him.]
Look. I'm not going to apologize for whatever the damn Indeedee plucked from my mind to send to you, because I don't actually know what they sent. And I think I'm justified in being a little annoyed at you keeping me ignorant for my own good, even if your intentions were benevolent.
But as per the card I got, I *will* apologize for that whole 'crime family' thing from the first time I was here. It mostly came from me trying to shrink my need for a community to something small enough to be manageable at that point in my life and I wasn't thinking of how it might make other people (like you) uncomfortable. If it makes you feel better I've moved past needing to view most of my working relationships that way.
(... and I'll apologize for getting weird and twitchy back when I was over in January too, while we're at it. I hadn't prepared myself for your uncanny ability to press buttons without knowing they were there.)
