Well, this is evidence against using second-person pronouns to avoid "he/she".
He could easily have said "bland willingness to" rather than "your bland willingness" so that doesn't seem to be an example where a pronoun is necessary.
No, it's an example where using "you" has caused someone to take something personally. Given that the "he/she" problem is that some people take it personally, I haven't solved the problem, I've just shifted it onto a different group of people.
