I said "he deserves a slapping". I never volunteered to carry that
out. And, furthermore, I meant a verbal slapping, something akin to
what is already happening with the good Doctor's attacks.
Sorry about the metaphor. God damn, must I overstate the obvious?
What pissed me off is:
After I received this letter I sent several olive branches. No
reply. No discussion. Just leave it with his weapon drawn? On my
open and empty hand!? That's not me.

response to a hypothetical assault. If Ross does no slapping,
Tim won't shoot him. QED. No reason to get bent out of shape.
