Some of the languages you have deployed to describe me in your letter are offensive, uncouth and I totally and completely rejected them, I am not inconsistent, hypocritical, unstatesman, and nor am I anybody\u2019s lackey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou use your own yardstick to judge others. I hope you think and adjust. Negotiation achieves better results than dictation.
