So do you want to know the real reason I cut those chapters?...I this...I that...I something else...(I could list another 20 of these, but you get the idea.)

Lots of good stuff here, but I never found the reason I would most hope for: No one gives a shit.

In business, we all see it every day: who did this, who did that, who said what, who was right, who was wrong, who is hurt, who is angry, blah, blah, blah. The gossip part of our brain wants to hear more, but the business side doesn't; it just sounds like a whole bunch of played out drama.

Better to just shut and move on. Glad you did. Just not sure I'm glad why you did it.

I agree implicitly. I've seen all kinds of drama play out, and at the end of the day, it never really matters. I've learned to just tune it out. It's best just to accept that you approached the situation the best you could, and figure out where to go next.
So true, but then again bland story without the emotional content makes for … bland story.
