The following email was sent, as it states, to six people (in addition to Fr C).  If someone can benefit from having a few gaps filled in regarding what preceded my composition of the Ode, fine.  If not, so be it.  This was in another thread, but kind of hidden therein.

Although your impressive, virtuoso usage of every communist smear tactic in the book has likely shocked and/or frightened many of those who read your attempted character assassination (annihilation?) of me, I thought you might like to know that I have already been told by some that they not only do not believe your claim/s, they think your actions were completely over the top (and this is not getting into the number of those who agree with my assessment of your school and staff, mind games, etc.).

I have sent this email to six people, BCC (you will have to take my word, as an honest, although mentally ill, man).  Three people flatly deny your claim about my mental state, and one expressed uncertainty (which is not surprising, as he is a kind and obedient soul who wants to believe his priest, and we have spoken for a total of 30 seconds or so during our lives) - while a total of ZERO (0) have affirmed your assessment.  Something tells me no one will - just a hunch, though.  Further, one of the other two is, I know for a fact, certain that your claim is absurd.  Now, you could take the list of people to whom you sent your email, do a little math, and ascertain the probability that certain individuals are on my BCC line.  Then, you could call them into your office, give them 'the business' in person, and hope they will be sufficiently intimidated to follow your instructions.  That failing or seeming inefficient, you could call them all in, and do the same.  Finally, you could just go 'straight up cult', and tell everyone, from the pulpit or another way of your choosing, that all contact with me, whether on or off SGG property, personal or professional, indoors or out, in fair weather or foul, by phone or email, hook or crook, is most strictly verboten.  "Heil...!"  As it is such a popular and effective tool these days for intimidating the sheep, you could, if necessary, employ the Sacraments as weapons - pretending, of course, that you are only safe-guarding the other sheep.  If you would like any more tips as to how to go about exerting maximum, cult-like control, you know how to reach me.  God speed.
