You don't know how our team functioned, you don't know how ideas were thrown around, and, most certainly, you don't know who performed well and who didn't. Don't pretend to understand me, or anyone else on my team, when you don't work with us.
I understand that Ecuador wasn't your first choice of travel ideas for this week, but if I have an idea, I'm not one to sit back and not mention it. I merely suggested the idea, and Carlisle fell in LOVE with the concept, and together we advocated for it. I was hardly pushing my idea down anyone's throat or anything like that. Also, where was I rude to Jason? I don't think I so much as mentioned his name anywhere in the boardroom. I also spoke well about him elsewhere on the forum today, so I have to think that the issue runs a bit deeper than that, Katie.
Before I go, I just want to remind you of something. After sending me a very viciously worded message about "making you look stupid," we both agreed, privately, that we were going to put bad blood behind us for tasks moving forward, a statement which you, quite frankly, lied about yourself. Since, apparently, you're not able or willing to do that, and since you're so good at hyperanalyzing every last line of text, I'd love to hear how you read this:
Please don't let your views of my personality or my work ethic distract from the fact that I'm serious about this competition. I don't spend every ten seconds saying you should get fired because I don't like you - which, believe me, I don't - and even went as far as to commend your work on the first task I worked with you, and still didn't think you should have been fired on the second task I worked with you on because there were more deserving people.
Did I contradict myself anywhere here?”

Where did I once say I didn't like you? All I said was I felt Ecuador was the reason you lost the task. As for a "viciously worded message" I simply said don't lie about my contribution again and you even admitted you lied albeit accidentally and made me look bad (which I can upload a screenshot of if you wish). I said I forgave you for it and you apologized. I didn't realise it was still an issue.
Sorry, I just feel the need to defend myself and respond if you're going to write paragraphs most of which criticize me.
