Okay, let me attempt to step in before this turns flamish. Emer, I know you're trying to help, and I have spoken to Petru about this. My decision is mostly made already, though as I said, it is not impossible that it might change over the next few months. I've put in an application for the PhD program just in case, so I don't need to make a final decision until May.
Also, knowing Ian the way I do, I'll say that he wasn't yelling at you. He really does talk like that and he's just trying to add some emotion to a generally emotionless medium. He's not asking you to apologize, just venting some frustration. (Ian, if I've gotten any of this wrong, feel free to correct me.)
As always, I'm happy to accept advice if either of you has anything more to say on the topic.
