A Writer's Notebook, Day Nine-Hundred-And-Seventy-Two

Earlier this week, I mentioned an incident in which a creator I have long followed and sponsored presented some content that I found upsetting.  I discussed that I had sent a message and was saddened to not receive a response.  Well, I am glad to say that I finally received a reply today, and it was very thoughtful and understanding, expressing a true effort to understand the issues I brought up.  I am very moved by this, though I am still a bit upset that it took as long as it did.  I cannot help but reflect on the fact that I only received this response after I had taken the step to end my financial support.  Now, it may well be that this is coincidental.  The email suggests that they had been attempting to educate themselves on the issue, and I want to believe that the delay was part of an effort to craft a thoughtful response.  I do wish, assuming that to be the truth, that they had reached out if only just to say they had received the message, and asking for time to offer a real response.  Even so, it is incredibly meaningful to me knowing that the message was heard and seems to have received a genuine reception.
