Exactly!

Josh,

I defended you because I believed that you were just a young kid that
didn't know any better. I told you time and time again, NOT TO REPLY TO THE
MAILING LIST without consulting me first. You continue to reply, and now
you expose a private email from me to the world? WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
Especially since you used it out of context and don't appear to understand
what the word "refrain" means. This is a HUGE break in trust!

That's it. You're on your own. You have proven Krzysztof and Lorenzo right
and made me look like a fool in trying to help you. They warned me about
you, but I'm too kind and try to help those even when it looks hopeless.

Don't bother emailing me anymore. You need to do this on your own.
