Most excellent letter, Tep.
As per usual.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, he might not understand what I have to say if it isn't full of misspellings, comma abuse, and incomprehensible grammar.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think you spend more time than needed defending your actions, which don't need defense. paragraph 3, 4, and 5 . I'd shorten them. but to what, I'm not sure.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Steph, very good and very clear. Just one quibble with the phrase "free labor" in the 4th paragraph. My original thought on reading that phrase was that all volunteer work is free labor, and it doesn't explain your concern.
You might want to consider something stronger (maybe "punching bag"?) that conveys your feeling of being put down.

What Fred Pete said. I'd also bump up the "disrespect" angle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, you should insult the president's fashion sense.

It's just -- I'm so insulted that he thinks I'm overstepping my role by editing crap writing. I truly think that he thinks an editor just runs spellcheck.

I would take this out:
I am cc-ing the Board as well as the PR committee, so that everything is very clear to everyone.
or reword it to something like "In light of the communications issues that this committee has suffered, I am copying the Board and the PR committee to ensure that there are no misunderstandings."
and would edit the following thusly:
I am not resigning becausesome people didn't prefer my newsletter designI was asked to redesign the newsletter that was submitted . I AM resigning because the newsletter problems are just the most recent examplein a long line of problems that repeat themselves over and over.of consistent communication and leadership problems that have continued to be repeated.
Just a suggestion. Won't hurt my feelings none if you don't take them. because a REAL writer knows how to take criticism.
