No sweat Tom.
I read your stuff because you are interesting and somehow unpredictable.
You are on a journey and I don't think even you know where it is going or where it will end up.
The Philippines (which has interest for me because my wife is from there), back to US and now on to Mexico.
It is a journey into the unknown with curve balls thrown in along the way, and I am just glad you allow us to follow along with you.
I don't like entitlement, and this is what you were a victim of.
Long before this blew up, I had stopped following this particular writer because of this trait and also an apparent lack of understanding for the opposing side of any argument they put forward.
Unfortunately it led to the article that blew up all over Medium.
Keep on your journey Tom. Your true friends will stay with you and the others will fall by the wayside, kicking and screaming.
Cheers
