That's not quite true. I didn't feel like Zeb was picking on me at
all: I am genuinely grateful for his feedback, and I told him so. We
simply had a disagreement of opinion, and it wasn't even about
content, it was just about style. I didn't think it was a big deal
until you told me I need to unquestioningly accept whatever feedback I
receive.
