You are still placing the blame for this on the professor when the problem here lies in your ability to accept a very acceptable grade rather than accepting that your behavior was without boundaries, quite pushy, and very disrespectful. Even the way you are handling it right now, publishing the email conversation on a public forum, is showing very poor judgement and boundaries. This IS a problem for you that has shown previously and is certainly something you need to work on remedying.

didnt start it that way because it was during the conversation that he made the comment about leniency. not before so it wasn't an issue before, it was about the grade in the beginning. focus shifted.
