Honestly John, I doubt if I could write a better letter.  I wasn't even
trying to criticize your letter, just trying to point out that personal
comments about somebody on a public, archived, online forum might not be the
best idea.  

And, you're right, it was somebody else who referred to the writer guy as a
jerk.  I wasn't intending to imply that you'd said that.  Sorry if I did
without realizing it.  I was not, in fact, trying to make anybody directly
look bad, or flame anyone, just trying to point out that negative personal
remarks about anybody is not a good thing, and gave a couple of examples I'd
noticed. 

Thank you for putting me in my place.
