I've done a lot over the years with him and found him receptive to my
feedback, until it seems recently... which really saddens me as have enjoyed
the collaboration.

Like anyone he can form a view and wish to stick to it, but I have seen
many times where he has also been open to others comments. I think where
things can get rough at times is where a topic comes up that has shall we say
'history' that the person(s) raising it (often in good faith) will be unaware
of.

Then at those times things can get rather heated rather quickly as in the
case of the author it's stuff he's covered many a time before albeit
sometimes in different echos, months or years.

I'm not condoning anyones actions in saying this. I'm just as guilty as the
next dude at times for either misreading or not reading what is being said in
plain text. But what I would like to point out is that for all of the ups and
downs of recent I've found James to be open to feedback and often very quick
to act on it.

Best, Paul
