Hi, I just sent this via postal service to GM. I will post the response when it arrives:
The response to this letter will be posted at www.raisethehammer.org/index.asp?id=465.

Attn: Stew Low P. Eng.
Re: Mr. Low's response to "It's a MADD World" article posted here - www.raisethehammer.org/index.asp?id=465
Dear Mr. Low:
I am very disappointed with your lack of compassion as demonstrated by your use of insults, and your failure to address several valid issues in your recent response to a letter submitted to you by MADD, on behalf of Ted Mitchell.
For someone who is aware that their response was to be publicized, and for a man with so little grace and apparent lack of experience in public relations, I think it was a poor decision to have you respond on behalf of GM Canada. This reflects poorly on you personally and on behalf of the corporation as a whole.
In your response to the author of the letter, Ted Mitchell, you begin by stating "My comment to Ted Mitchell and his ramblings".
I found this comment inappropriate and insulting. It speaks volumes to your attitude towards the general public when they have legitimate concerns that deserve legitimate responses.
I think that Ted Mitchell, a physician, had several legitimate points complete with referenced sources. This is more than I can say for your response, which didn't address specific issues and certainly did not provide any reference material or factual evidence. This either speaks to your ignorance of the issues, your lack of respect to this individual (or all individuals), to the fact that you didn't actually read the letter's contents before responding, or to a combination of some or all of these possibilities.
I also feel that it was indeed your writings that more accurately reflect the definition of rambling: "digressive: (of e.g. speech and writing) tending to depart from the main point."
I would hope that if you were, for some strange reason, chosen to respond to pubic inquiries in the future, that you would take this task more seriously and spend more time researching and crafting your response.
Sincerely, Pete W.
