Hi.

Kevin and Harald, thank you for speaking up.

I suspect that this is the sentence Kevin thought of as arrogant.

To myself it came more across as condescending. Note that I am not saying that
you intended it to be so [1], just that this was my reading of the phrase, with
my internal translations running along the lines of

    I know better than you (what you were thinking)
    I know better than you (what you are remembering)

> I'll now attempt to persuade you of the opposite.

And this follow-up I then translated as

   I know better than you (what reality should be)

Together these two sentences very much come across to me as an attempt at
gaslighting [2], unfortunately. Change the future by rewriting the past
(in my memory).

If that was not intended I would recommend that you sit back and think very 
hard
on how you communicate and phrase things. Maybe try to read mails from the
perspective of the prospective receiver and other audience. Yes, that is a hard
thing to do, we each have only our own mind to emulate/predict the thoughts of
others.

I had hoped that the technical arguments from my recollection would have been
answered by technical arguments.

Reading the rest of the mail now, having calmed down from my initial reaction 
to
the first parapgraph our your mail, I find that any technical arguments it may
contain are all couched in terms of manipulative language targeted at rewriting
my memory of the past.

I have decided that there is no point to respond to this.

I have decided that the topic of chan post event and its nature is closed on my
side. I will not dicuss it further.
