Nitty in a Nutshell #2

[Shakspr]

Nitty, please never be sorry for encouraging me. I said it before and I'll say it again - I need both encouragement and the occasional 2 x 4 to DB to the best of my ability - especially post-D.

I don't have anything to add to the above. Full-blown fight mode is not somewhere I'm comfortable either. I do believe that you have entered a hard, scary place with your MLC H. But you have proven to us and to Gritty and to YOURSELF that you are tough enough to make it.

He said "thank you" to you for waiting for him for a reason.

MR alert: Perhaps he's scared of all the work HE knows he'll have to do now to forge a better relationship. And he doesn't know if he's up to the task. And he isn't out of blame mode yet, so it's easier to create "straw man" what-if arguments in his own mind than to simply be solution-oriented.
