At Summer Convention, I was truly having a great time, it’s always wonderful connecting with you all in person. However, as you can tell, this situation turned out to be quite grave. Frankly, nobody desires to experience an attack at their workplace, or anywhere for that matter. Under normal circumstances, such behavior wouldn’t be considered appropriate or justified by anyone.
