I think Ken means that your correcting the word "Legos" was being picky.

I'm not precisely sure, but I think Ken felt that the pickiness slighted
the NILTC announcement.

Do you mean that you think Ken bears you animosity now?
Ken, do you bear animosity toward Larry?

Do you think that the person who wrote the announcement was a mundane?

You said you couldn't imagine Ken messing up "this spectacularly." Did
you mean to imply that you could imagine Ken messing up less spectacularly?
If not, do you think it's possible for someone to imagine such a subtext?

Ken, can you forgive Larry (on this one point) for accidentally divulging
this information under the belief that it was common knowledge?

Well, but feelings aren't beliefs or theorems. Feelings are neither valid
nor invalid. Feelings just are...or aren't.
I'm not trying to pick nits on wording here, I'm getting at something
deeper. What you posted in reply to Ken's NILTC announcement caused him
to feel wronged. I'm asking you what you think about his feeling wronged
by what you said.

I think I tend to agree, but regardless, Ken did still feel wronged; any
amount of debating the validity of whether or not he ought to have felt
wronged won't change the simple fact that he did. And I'm asking, where
can we go from there? My sense is that Ken would appreciate your
acknowledging that he felt wronged by what you said.

Well, that is a personal decision, right?
