I owe you an apology. I was misguided. I thought I could change things through creativity and understanding; that truth would triumph and good would win in the end. And even as I write that, it sounds hopelessly naive. I genuinely thought I might make a difference.
My solicitor, who hasn’t known me for long, has called me an idealist twice, both occasions saying it like it was a dirty word.
And I’m afraid, when I got drawn into putting up a fight, I may have dragged you along in my delusion that David could beat Goliath.
This is real life. David’s been marmalised. Goliath leaves the messy scene intact with an only an annoying headache and slightly less cash in his pocket.
It’s over for me in terms of fighting Howard and his friends. I’m outnumbered and out-financed. The only thing that remains is that if they won’t agree to remove the confidentiality clause – I will have to ditch my solicitor and represent myself to Tribunal. It’s my worst nightmare, but I’m in this process and it’s too late to back out.
Truth is, I think I may have got it wrong. Fighting for my cause changed nothing.
I’m not saying don’t fight...I’m just saying eventually you will have to chalk it up to experience and move on.
There has to be a better way to resolve these things. In the meantime, I’ll be here for you, like you’ve been here for me. If bullies are going to win as a rule, we need to support each other. As long as we’re trying to make a difference - maybe we’ll get there.
See you next week. Take care of yourselves and thanks again.

Don't waste your direct energy on these Bullies, they probably don't care. If they are alone when things crumble they probably crumble. A hyperthetical idea could be to Channel your energy into a book & focus it to be a seller which would demand a must read/hot item so eventually alot of people can read/talk about it and eventually it would get back to Coward with your name on it as a writer. Remember don't use the firms name or even the colleques, I think the law states after a year one can talk about their experiances from an former organisation. This would provide great reward for you.
Wow, I had no idea about the one year expiry. I will look into that asap.
It certainly would be a reward and you are right. I've wasted enough direct energy on them - and they really don't care.
You're a star, Mr Fan. Thank you x
