"reputation?" You mean that of raging megalomaniac with a martyr complex who's never wrong and can't ever seem to let things go? I wouldn't say it's being "damaged" exactly.

Look, I personally enjoy your banter, even though I agree with you on pretty much nothing and generally find your online persona unpleasant at best. I think you add something to this board and I get a kick out of your posts, even when I find myself smiling, shaking my head going "I can't BELIEVE this guy." I hope you stick around.

I do think how this went down was unfortunate and I do feel bad if you're actually hurt by it. But man, end the cringe-fest, settle this privately, and either stay or go. That's about all there is left to this now. In a couple weeks you'll be the only one who remembers.
