I apologize for my gruff reply yesterday. My wife is having some health problems, and I'm a little bit stressed out over it. I want to say, though, that I wasn't intending to disrespect anyone.

Is that the sort of condescending behavior you're talking about? Save the magnanimous act for someone else. Obviously I never meant for that email to be made publi...
