At the administrative plenary last night, I responded to something that Suresh said by saying "I think you're being a jerk".

What Suresh had said that I was responding to, actually was something that offended me for reasons which are deeply personal and private.  However, there's no way that he could, or should, have known that.   To his credit, he came over afterward and calmly asked me for clarification.

I wish to apologize for my accusation.   For the record, I don't think Suresh is a jerk, and in my limited experience with him I have entirely the opposite impression overall.   I over-reacted to his comment in the plenary, and in doing so I probably did a fair amount of damage - far more than any offense caused to myself.   I would also like to apologize for that to the entire community.
