He broke his ankle. Can you not accept that ?

He said to me he would operate but he wanted to stay in one place; I was
going out, Thorsten was on strike for some reason. Your official
complaint could have led to CSTal having to drop out of the blitz unless
either Thorsten or I, or both changed our plans.

Your official complaint, and I'm getting used to your whingeing about
every single thing relating to me, was churlish, inconsidered,
ego-centric and just plain pathetic.

Why can't you just accept his word ? He didn't want to move, he was on
crutches. He needed a special chair, I told you I wasn't going to be
there, but still you pressed on, whingeing. I'm kind of used to meeting
all kind of behaviours at the WMCCC, but this one left me speechless.

I think you know what you can do with your sarcastic apologies.
