Thank you, I really appreciate hearing from someone who saw the whole thing.
Even though I'm content in the role of the Bitch and being the fall-guy, I recognize my fallibility in confirmation bias and that I'm naturally going to want to defend my own position, so even though I try to be fair and admit my own shortcomings, it is still comforting to hear when someone supports and defends me, particularly other activists I admire.
I want to be corrected when I do something wrong so I don't do it again, but I also want to hear when I haven't done something wrong because it encourages me to keep going when activism is such a hard road and burn-out is so likely :-)
