It's not like I have been making personal comments or exaggerations about you now have I.

I would say I'm sorry I defend things I enjoy but I'm not. I openly enjoy using most Microsoft products. I have had a vested interest as an employee to promote what I do with passion, to dispel the incorrect rumours and to help others have a positive experience, not only that but to strive to make the product I worked on as good as it can be. Maybe you don't have such a positive view of your employer/employee relationship or a similar work ethic but I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and would like to work for them again. That is in no way an excuse to make a personal comments about another person in a spiteful and uncalled for way.
