JS: This is the email that seems to me to have 
begun the unpleasant turn of this thread:

JS: this seems to stereotype others and 
uses antagonistic language.

JS: not specific; pretty antagonistic, though.

JS: insulting, seems to me, and with such

JS: now you're getting personal. What a shovel 
full of blame you've hoisted. Insults and, I 
claim, misrepresentations. 
    Harassment issues don't exist to me?

JS: more insults.

JS: your antagonism and insults started a good fire; 
be proud of yourself over there in hell.
