Iggy here:

*sigh*  Tom, I hate to say it, but the entire content and tone of that
post just made you look bad.

Might I suggest that, in the future (if you wish to preserve the respect
some people have for you, and the image you value having with others)
that you write a letter in the manner you did... then immediately delete
it (since you have gotten the frustration or anger out of your system).
After that, let it alone for 12-24 hours, and then compose a new letter
when you're not feeling as emotionally charged as you were when you
wrote this one.

Then, when you're done, shine the light of reason onto it and be
objective.  Review it for tone and such.  Make sure that you have the
neutral and respectful attitude you have sought to maintain all this
time.  If need be, you can also write a letter with the pen and paper,
as you prefer, then put it in your attic (if you have one) and keep it
there for a day or two out of your sight and mind.  Hopefully, the
hostility you feel will stay in that attic where it belongs... away from
the light of day.

As they say:  Always strive to keep yourself beyond reproach, and never
sink to the level of the gutter when dealing with others.

Let us hope that this incident doesn't do too much damage to the opinion
others have of you, and lose respect for you or your cause.  If you take
the advice I give, then it's possible people will chalk this up to you
simply not letting yourself cool your temper down before you sent this
letter in.


Best wishes.
