I think I've been clear, Brad, in stating that the idiots in this
situation were those majority members who comprised the board of the
first seattle fringe festival. Not me. And certainly not you or your
company. As I stated before - I wanted your company in. Can you possibly
face the fact that we might just agree here?

Well, then, you should also know that this post was not to Karen. But in
response to someone else who had responded "positively" to a post of
mine.(Sorry, I forget your name. But, I still love you, I guess.)
Language is indeed a very powerful thing, Brad.
Especially when it is only partially read.

Following the metaphor of your "buried hatchet" sign-off through to it's
logical conclusion: I have no grudge (hatchet) against you, Brad. I don't
even know you. But from your previous posts some while back and now the
current post connecting my name with the decision to not allow your
company into a teensy-tiny festival in a teensy-tiny town almost ten
years ago, I get the impression (perhaps wrongly) that the grudge
(hatchet) is yours to bury. That is why I am willing to lend you a
shovel, Brad. To dig the hole to bury it in. Hell, I'll even help you dig
it.
Yours in earth,
Jonathan
