And Where Do You Think You Are Going, Mr. Humphrey
2000-12-22 by KA B
Dear Marvin, You certainly did not alienate or disappoint me. And I honestly do not think you alienated or disappointed anyone else either. Those who had confidence in you before still have it now. You have not done anything to undermine it. And those who did not have confidence in you -- since they never will it is fruitless to try to gain/regain it. That is to say, you will win nothing in the future that you do not have already. I WILL, however, be very disappointed -- and probably alienated -- and lose confidence in you -- if you depart. Please don't do it. I don't think anyone here -- even those who you might think of as your enemies -- wants you to do it. Please don't do it.
