Please stay kind, Tessa. Your language is highly unkind and not mildly pretentious. There is no need to get abusive. Using abusive language on your colleague authors here on Medium, is very unbecoming, and undignified indeed.

You are interacting not just with me. If that would be the case, you would send me a direct message. You are interacting in the public space of a social Medium. Every word you leave here is one for public discourse. The very claim that you are writing just to me is plainly ridiculous.

Oh ... and by the way ... the article under scrutiny is not even mine. In fact, it is written by an esteemed and extremely knowledgeable colleague author of ours. His name is Douglas Giles. Perhaps going back and reading and rereading what others have written might be a good idea?

Again sending you kindness, curiosity, and openness of heart and mind,

Yours respectfully,

FL
