No, Sean, I just think that I'm responsible to the people for whom I do them (and I am a songleader not a performer), not to you or to anyone else who has not participated. I think you are not hearing that. I can understand how that could be, since you have no way of knowing for yourself what experiences I may have had in my life, with diversity work in particular, that have led me to do what I do, however imperfectly.

If someone who has experience in the matter disagrees with you, it isn't necessarily defensiveness, and I don't appreciate your characterizing it that way when you don't know me.
