Thanks for harming the cause.
Please enlighten me as to what you consider "strutting", and what alleged "harm" my communication has brought to 'the cause'.
Generally, heavy doses of snark, insults, and contempt do not win people over in the business world. While you are clearly in the right and I sincerely applaud your efforts, I would never sign my name to a letter written as you did, even though I believe in its message. As for harm, I can only speak from experience working in an office with a liberal attorney that sets corporate policy. One quote from her is "I believe in the second amendment, just no one should be able to carry a gun outside their home". There are many others that are also just as enlightening. If I were to write a letter to her that had your contemptuous tone, it would be dismissed entirely out of hand. However, attorneys (supposedly) deal in facts, and if you wrote it an incontrovertible manner that lists things in black and white, you might get the response you want. By taking this tact, you have now made it harder for any pro gun advocate in the future to deal with this person. I believe that's the harm that the previous commenter was referring to, or at least for me, that's exactly how I felt reading your ether before I saw that comment.
Thank you for your efforts' sincerely, and this is not an attack post, merely answering your question as it related to me.
