Saint Lennard said:Why should Liz receive a bashing for explaining her opinion (or even having one!). Why should we give a break to some jumped up spin nurse who is now seeking pity from us? Seems the words come uppance are appropriate here.
Did you see his origional email? Did he give her a hard time, or did he ask her to explain her opinion. Knowing full well that she didn't have to explain herself, but asking politly if she would..
Calling someone a 'jimped up spin nurse' is a matter of opinion, I don't think he is seeking 'pity' either. He is simply trying to argue his point against a lynch mob!
Give the guy a break. Its hardly a big deal.
