This is the PM I sent in reply to his PM to me. I quoted the important part of his PM:
Harold,
I do not consider "Scale55" confrontational, just "stinkin'".
"Scale55- We don't need a letter", would make your point clearly, and would be perceived as less angry to those who prefer letters. I really do not want to see you leave. You have contributed too much quality work and guidance, and besides, a point, made quietly often has greater impact than one stated boldly. It is seen as a light in the dark, rather than a command.
Pete
His PM, removed any doubt that I had misread his intention. If he refuses to change the signature, I would appreciate any suggestion on how to procede. It isn't something that demands harsh action. I just thought he would be more....reasonable..., and soften his signature statement.
"Remind me not to get you mad."
"Don't make me angry, you won't like me angry"........Is that why my name shows up "green"?

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
