Quote: I don’t know about the others, but I don’t want to be seen as ganging up on V-Bube.
I don't think we are either. I meant that a bit tongue in cheek.
It was not just a random comment. The purpose of the statement was as follows: If he didn't feel like we are ganging up on him, then his response to the statement would be the same as yours, namely, "but you're not."
But just in case he was feeling like we were ganging up on him, that statement would meet him at that place, connect with him there, and validate the feeling of being "ganged up on." It was a statement designed to show empathy and sincere admiration of his willingness to pay such close attention to our lengthy comments.
