Esto me parece una opinión que podría ser malintencionada o no y que no
debiera tener mayor trascendencia pero que plantea cosas que no debieran
influir en que se de la charla o no. Opino que si Richard suspendió la
charla por esta razón estaría muy equivocado debiera hacerse responsable por
ello. Él es una persona temperamental y veces grosera pero siempre que se
excede busca pedir disculpas. Se que esto no es lo mejor pero todos tenemos
nuestros errores y nadie debe lanzar la primera piedra.
