Where are your journal entries about what you think D'Glenn ought to be writing about? Oh, you have other stuff you're writing about? Other stuff you're working on? Other ways you're giving back? That's great.

It's very hard not to read these kinds of follow-ups as "It's time you put those skills into my priorities! I don't care what else you're working on or dealing with!"

If you were trying to go for "encouraging" rather than "scolding", it got lost in the mail.

There is a logical fallacy called "ad-hominem", which basically means that "there is something wrong with what you claim because there is something wrong with you". Despite their popularity, those arguments are a lot more fragile than they seem.

You made some claims about D'Glenn's abilities and your abilities, which I did not dispute.

Ad hominem doesn't come into it, but I can see why you might wish to believe that I was snarking on your claims rather than your tone and subsequent commands.
