I was a young dentist and made a true statement about this big hotshot in the profession. It was absolutely true and not incendiary and not slanderous - it had to do with non-action with respect to a certain event which was a matter of public record.
This fellow sent me a letter written in red ink, bearing down on the paper, practically pushing the pen thru in 'faux' anger. The reason I knew it was false was that he knew exactly what he was doing and couldn't deny it for an instant - he had presence, I'll say that for him.
So instead of being subservient and apologetic, I wrote him a letter using one of those 5 color pens and each word was in a different color: black, blue, red, green, and yellow. I answered each of his points and included a Xerox of his original note in order that he would have a reference point and that I assumed that he had not copied it himself (may have been a false assumption - he was slicker than you-know-what). I never heard about this issue again and he was always somewhat deferent(!) to me...weirdly; asking me what I thought about things and changing his tune after my input.
You can't knuckle under to these megalomaniac-wannabees. They are pretenders and a small pin can burst the bubble. Rethugs are afraid to do this. Possibly for good reason, since the Establishment probably has the goods on them, How else could anyone explain the abject fear of the RWers in Congress?
