I am not resigning because some people didn't prefer my newsletter design. I AM resigning because the newsletter problems are just the most recent example in a long line of problems that repeat themselves over and over.
Change to:
I am not resigning because some people didn't prefer my newsletter design. I AM resigning because Committee Chairman is an intolerable prick. I mean, just look at the way he dresses!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Does Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) still have a Pointy Headed Boss contest? Cause this paragraph coud be worth money...
The image I and the board wants and I hope all the rest of the members want as well, is to portray a vibrant, inclusive, cutting age group, who is moving forward.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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

Yeah. My eyes are already rolling like crazy from "cutting age group" and then the "who is moving forward" just throws my eyes rolling in a completely different direction and I get all dizzy and nauseous....

Let's be very clear. I will personally drub Matt around the ears if he stays at this job. I will declare him a victim of Stockholm's Syndrome and hijack him away to be deprogrammed.
He absolutely needs to leave that place. All their promises are empty and bullshit. He knows that. Be strong Matt! Run away to the sane place!
