This is something I suspect journalists have to deal with all the
time: when one of the subjects of an article feels misrepresented
(which happens inevitably when writing to a deadline), that comes with
a feeling of powerlessness that can lead to grumpiness and harsh
words.
In the end you ended up improving the text enough that I don't mind
any more. Sorry for the bumpy road along the way.
Thanks,
Jonathan
