If you see that you don't have a healthy line of communication with Jimmy,
you may want to consider not communicating with him at all. Initiating
and/or participating in conversations about someone when you cannot have a
healthy conversation with that person won't be beneficial. You will end up
being in a position that you cannot improve things between the two of you,
but you will have extra information that you will feel burdened to share
with others.
That's pretty unfair. It was Jimmy who initiated this off list correspondence with
James and Peter. He didn't ask Peter if he wanted to be a mediator, and I think
Peter's response makes that clear. In fact, saying that Peter was an active
participant in this discussion off list is totally inaccurate. As you can see from the
response that Peter provided to Jimmy (which he has shared with us now), Peter has taken
great pains to make it clear he doesn't want to be involved in direct correspondence
on this issue and he wants any discussion he takes part in to be in public.
Basically, whilst I respect your views on this situation, in my view the email you are
directing to Peter is better directed to Jimmy.
