Dear Marie,

You are of course entitled to your opinion - albeit
offensively put.
Pete asked for feedback and I gave it - honestly and
sincerely.  I am sorry to see you find that
unacceptable.  I do not intend to leave the list and I
look forward to seeing a constructive comment from you
...

Kindly look at the archive for the seminar - I didn't
post for me - I posted for the teachers with whom I
work.  Do you see engagement? Do you see the teachers'
websites being discussed in the reviews? Kindly before
attacking me do check if my posting is evidentially
true.

You might well be interested in other email I have
received thanking me for being honest enough to speak
out. Such is academic freedom i.e. to hold an opinion
that is evidentially different from other people. 

Warm regards, and thanks for your honesty too,
Sarah
