Imho that cancelling part was about “I still think about it, I don’t have it closed in my mind”. It was not about cancelling a specific person therefore he didn’t mention the name.

I was in the discussions, but I didn't play a major part in the decision. This is closer to "I should have said something" than "I wish I hadn't done that."

It's weird how you don't think of yourself as playing an active role when you are just agreeing with other people because they might be useful, but then find yourself ten years later wondering if you should have done everything differently.

Yup. Exactly. Most people including me have (had) to learn how to not being afraid speak up.

Otherwise unresolved issues catch up with a person until the end of life.

So everytime someone tells that I am too much activist I answer “yes, because I think I need to speak up so I don’t have to have unfinished stuff in my head”. And after ten years when we meet they ask me if I remember …something… And I tell them I don’t as it was finished and I don’t live in the past.

Ram Dass would appreciate it. Be here and now.

I understand. I think many people do. It sounds like this individual was proven right in the retaliation.
