Yes, to me, *although she cc'd my g.f. and promised to send a copy to
the gentleman who referred me to her. (a promise that did not
materialize, but the gentleman was horrified when my g.f. showed the
letter to him later)


If she sent a copy to someone else, and harmed you in some way, please
give more details.


Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words addressed only to
you can't hurt you. *What is it that happened that has you so
outrages?


That is a very thoughtful question, and one I have deliberated on a bit
already. More will no doubt be revealed. But, I will tell you that the
letter was outrageous, (so why would I not be outraged?) and 100%
unprovoked. If I had an employee who spoke to one of my customers like
that, I would fire the employee on the spot. Our society has grown rude,
and we have grown accepting of rudeness. I guess I'd like to rail
against that, effectively or not.


I wouldn't see this as an ethical question so much as your unfortunately haVING
run into an emotionally unstable, unhappy person. *She didnt' set you up to lose
money or otherwise manipulate you, or others, to get something for herself, did
she? *That would be more along the lines of what people consider ethical
questions.

From your description, this is beyond rudeness, so beyond your wisest course is
to realize that, and don't let her emotional problems affect your life further.
Which means to drop it. *After bring the letters to the attention of any
superiors she may have. *And thereafter don't use that realtor or any associated
realtor.

Is there something in the letters that's defamatory to you? *(If so, are you
telling us everything?)

I agreee with Banty. State licensing boards have plenty of more
important things to worry about than someone who simply wrote a nasty
letter to someone that was a potential client. Had that letter been
to someone that was part of an actual transaction and caused potential
harm, then that would be a very different scenario. ST has already
written a letter to her employer. I'd forget about it.

It's also a bit curious that we aren't given any of the details of
exactly what transpired and what was actually said. There can be two
sides to a story.
