Hi, Geni and Guy.

Although I appreciate his comments at the same time I feel they were too 
kind, I think I was assuming good faith. I just couldn't understand the 
goal of Thomas's proposal, and his vehemence seemed out of proportion to 
the apparent harm. When I and another fellow had asked him directly what 
problem he was trying to solve, he didn't answer.

If I weren't assuming good faith, I'd just have put him in the category 
of "difficult person" and stopped responding to him. In this case, the 
best he's-acting-in-good-faith theory I could come up with was that 
there was some other factor that I was missing. So I asked.

What would you prefer I have done? And just to be clear, that's a 
sincere question, not rhetorical snark.


Thanks,

Wiliam
