I'm in the newspaper business and have a little understanding of "letters to the editor."
I don't think it was the tone of the letter that was a problem; I think it was too long and didn't have a singular point or refer to a previous article oreditorial opinion in the paper. This was more like a column although still rambling.
Whether a column or a letter, for credibility there needs to be a clear subject and position on that subject. Evidence needs to be presented to support that position. This was more history lesson with other thoughts tossed in.
