Don't attempt to belittle and or humiliate people unless your willing to take a good dose of it yourself; the whole game is a lose-lose propostion.
Your story isn't quite the way it's told on the other side of the street. But, with only one side represented that's the way it goes.
If you take things that transpired in good humor, and try to make a Fed case out of them, everybody loses from the polarization.
Why don't you show a little good faith and lose the handcuffs on WW. First steps are always good first steps, if they lead to a positive resolutions. He may feel the same way about the previous transaction as you do. Time passes, wounds heal.
