I think you are mistaking me for someone with the power of a Stalin. This is a community movement with staff , trustees and volunteers all of which have played roles in this and it is only the staff over whom I have authority.

I also think your email style is horrible and to quote yourself 'totally unacceptable'. My mum would have given me a good telling off for such rudeness.

Can't you find ways to express yourself that make you r point without seeming angry and arrogant?

You're the chief executive, it's your job to review what has happened, work out why it went wrong and work out how to do things better in future. "It just did" is totally unacceptable.
