Welcome!

Wasn't aware of Fordham as an IT-school (hence Google?). Though, have
had one or two discussions with staff there on Cognitive Psychology (my
research area).

Agreed, and thank you for doing-so.

Will look forward to positive support and future contributions...

As before, please be aware of cultural differences, how poorly humor can
'translate', and beware assumptions.

For example, should the second sentence be interpreted as a list of
requests or demands? Of whom?

No, I'm not asking for a (written) response, and have no doubt about the
goodness of your intentions - but (hopefully) illustrates how easily
text-messages can leave room for misinterpretation of intent!

There is nothing to clarify. Ref: PSF's Code of Conduct.

If you have further questions, I may be able to help, but best done
off-list to reduce 'noise'.

Perhaps a better first-step would be to contact the person you feel has
been unkind (also off-list). Maybe such will lead to
mutual-understanding, education rather than hurt, ...
