I understand that it is a hostile environment, and that there has been personal offense to you. I also understand, however, that it is a big concession on Laz's part to even contemplate coming to terms, and the opportunity will be lost forever if you are too diffident. Surely you can make clear that you do take responsibility for having let things go too far with Poet, and failing to attend to signals that Poet was suffering. Surely you can make clear that you are very sorry, and have learned some lessons about obstinacy and pride causing misjudgment. And that you intend to make amends where possible. And so forth. There is no need to get much more personal than to flesh out those sentiments........
