I met Stuart Heath yesterday. We've crossed paths in the blogdom a few times, but this was the first time in person. I liked our brief chat so much that I returned to his stall at Oxygen 11 for a bit more of a convo today.
Part of our discussion involved the ethics of breaking personal trust in recounting private conversation online in blogs. That said, I'm sure Stuart won't mind me posting what I said to him, namely, "I think you're much nicer in person than you come across online".
This made me think two things.
1. I hope I didn't offend you, Stuart.
2. I wonder how I come across based on my blogposts and comments. Tell me if you like, I can take it.
Anyways, then I found out Stuart thought I had coined the nickname for him of, "the gadfly on the rump of institutionalism". This type of name-calling would be rather harsh, and very out of character for me. As I assured Stuart, it was in fact him who had coined the term here, then I liked it so I repeated it.
Hoping to have coffee in a few weeks.
