Don't be too hard on yourself. My perception of Glenn is that he's not so
thin-skinned that he'd let the remarks of one individual drive him off. I
believe he really means exactly what he says: he's wearied of this
particular discussion, in part because he had hoped to win more support
than he did, and in part because he perceives some members have tuned him
out.

I've been quite impressed with the conduct of most reflector members. Sure
people get frustrated and say things they wish they hadn't, but they are
usually quick to realize when they've used poor judgment and apologize. I
think we're doing OK, so far as etiquette is concerned.
