I'm still getting the odd report that elements of this conversation are straying off the factual discussion into the personal.   However, I'm not going back and asking for changes (or changing anything) - I thinks we're OK. I do appreciate it can be very hard to accept someone else's view when it differs to your own convictions, especially where that other person's view raises awkward thoughts for you.
