I sent an email to him and others about an issue I'd like guidance on how to pursue. Chris responded with a bit about how he disagrees with me, and how he feels I should address the situation based on my beliefs. Hillary and her peeps have had some very public fallings out over similar. It's all about honesty and trust. Chris knows that I will listen to him and respond as I feel best. I knew that he'd give me his opinion on the issue, and his advice on how to handle my opinion.
