My reply was rude. I was rude because I was frustrated. Now I am not frustrated, so I will not be rude. I require no apology. I am rarely offended, something that would require an apology. I become only angry or frustrated, emotions that require action and solutions, not apologies.

I do not think this is true. However, we shall have to wait.

I admire your financial wizardry.

What can I say? I am an autocrat at heart. I get my joy out of defeating opposition and winning arguments. Having people disagree with me is not disheartening. Prolonged disagreement is only a delay to two good things if I persevere:

1) I eventually win the argument and derive pleasure from that.
2) I recognize an error in my thinking.

If an error has been recognized, I usually try and correct it because errors are not good. I return stronger for the next debate.
