Hi Kate, thanks for commenting on this. You raise important points and distinctions in your post. I had forgotten the language issue because his English seems very clear, but you’re right. I think I want to hear more from him and understand, but that as it stands, I don’t want to excuse him, because as you say, he’s not a child. It’s not as harmful as the consequences of the Jaws story, of course (or at least I don’t think it is!)… He needs to step up and explain himself better, don’t you think?
