Danny —
I’m truly surprised by the tone of your last message. I’ve been in the oil and gas litigation space for over two decades, and I’ve handled everything from well integrity disputes to shareholder derivative actions. I’ve never been someone to react with anger or emotion, especially not in a professional context. I’m actually quite serious about what I do, and I take every interaction seriously.
I live alone in Houston, and while I do enjoy the quiet evenings with a good coffee and a novel, I’m also very committed to being respectful and professional in my communications — especially when it comes to business or potential collaborations.
I’m assuming there was a misunderstanding in our earlier exchange. Could you clarify what exactly you meant by “you are a bastard”? I genuinely don’t recall that being part of any conversation we’ve had, and I’d appreciate some context so I can respond appropriately.
Also, are you currently involved in any legal or regulatory work related to energy infrastructure? I’ve been thinking about a possible collaboration on a recent case involving pipeline liability — something that might interest you.
And just to be clear — I’m not reacting defensively. I’m just trying to understand where things stand.
Best regards,
Danny Smith
