Linux Abraham Lincoln once said "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." Apparently, Tuttle, OK city manager Jerry Taylor never got the memo. Barely a week after his humiliating brush with celebrity after the CentOS fiasco, Taylor has definitively proven that arrogance and ignorance make a humorous combo. The Tuttle Times covers the embarassing incident, along with Taylor's gotta-see-it-to-believe-it response.

"We hope you are happy with it, since we produced it for free and you are able to use it without paying us ... and are even threatening to have us arrested for providing to you free of charge."

He did reply in full anger. He should have just pointed out the obvious problem and shut his mouth (aka no side remarks).

---------------------

His reply is not "in full anger". He probably shouldn't have thrown in the two side comments ("I feel sorry for your city" and the one you cite above) in his first e-mail. However, considering the tone he got from Jerry Taylor - who certainly could've acted more professionally throughout this whole exchange - I think his initial reply was fairly calm. "In full anger"? No way.
