Lisa, you did not post your email to Donald, so we're missing part
of the equation.

However, his response seems unnecessarily rude, even for private email.

Unless Donald is suffering from some kind of CAPITALISM that he can't
work around, then he (and all of us) should use standard etiquette
and post in accepted formats of group (does that make us SOCIALISTS?).

The trouble with Donald's reply to you, no matter what you said to him,
is that he states he'll do whatever he pleases, and so it seems he
shall.

At a party I do not deliberately stand next to the biggest bore
all night long, so ignoring bad behavior will eventually cause
it to go away or modify.

If not, then I don't feel at this point i'll be missing much.
