Frankly, I have been very impressed with your skills and I look forward to being mean to you in the upper levels - I do suspect, however, that I won't get the same chance I usually get.

My glass is up to you and I look forward to having you chastise me for my writing.

I don't equate not being tactful with being mean. The criticisms that you have made of my writing are perfectly valid. Sure, you could have prettied them up with niceties but the blunt question "How many times are you going to start a sentence with a pronoun?" was very effective in getting me to pay attention to what I had done and what I need to do to improve.

Nice try but I'm beginning to thing you're actually a teddy bear.

I look forward to lifting a virtual glass with you as I navigate the next level. Thank you for your positive comments and support.
