CC: Councilman1, Councilman2, Councilwoman2, Manager1

Councilwoman1,

I don't have your home email, so please let me know if you have another email address that you would prefer me using.

I have had no sleep all night. Please let me know what set you off at last night's meeting. Whatever it was, I am writing to confirm my understanding of your conduct and to request corrections if I am wrong. I hope you do not delete this unread before it is printed and retained in the strata corporation records, edited as required to remove any personal information.

Last night you said a couple of things to me that sounded so combative and threatening to me that I became too upset to be able to remember what I heard long enough to write it down. All I know for sure is that I replied by saying "Ditto" and that you didn't like that and that you got up and walked out of the room, saying to me: "You need psychiatric help" "Don't push me" and "Bitch", all of which I wrote down as you spoke so that I would not forget, or make a mistake in quoting you for the record. I replied nothing more than "Ditto" to each of the above-mentioned things that you said.

Manager1 said what sounded to me like we won't record that. Councilwoman2 said what sounded to me as if she had written it all down. I believe that I asked that it be recorded in the minutes, exactly what Councilwoman1 said to me, as it is important that threats and abuse be exposed.

If you believe that my understanding of these events is wrong, please advise me of the specific errors without delay, so that I can correct any inaccuracies, including ommissions, if any.

If you have any qualifications to determine my need for psychiatric help, please provide your CV, along with any evidence to support your opinion, and I will provide the information to my doctor. Otherwise, please retract your statement. I would like an apology in any event.

Owner1
