What ticks me off about you is how damned insistent you can be that you're being reasonable and caring and listening to everyone around you, when the rest of us are sitting steamrollered and don't feel we have any choice in all the options you're telling us repeatedly we have. You get so very Orson Welles at times, I could see you arranging 1984 or Animal Farm so easily. Propaganda comes straight out of your mouth like gospel, and you don't hear it.

I've said this to you before in private, I know. But I thought I'd say it where some of your fellow committee members could also hear it.
