Hi Ayden,

I find this rather disrepectful and if you were an honest person, you
should send your public apologies for insinuating this. This is
terrible coming from a community leader and I personally find it very
offensive. You should have seen the comment link and my suggested
edits before responding to this email.

I would encourage you to re-read my email and respond to it (or not,
it is up to you because you don't have to if you have nothing
constructive) rather than pasting a section of the comment (which is
in the suggested comment under discussion).
Regards,
Arsene
