1998 Issues--Part 2

When the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal executive sent me the stern letter in 1998, there were three men behind it.  There was a hint about the lawyer but I didn't know him at the time, as I've said, and the letter made mistakes about my actual Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal business--which was being carried on through the head office in Toronto....  I would've thought the lawyer would've known about it because other executives at his level did...but apparently not...?  So, something seemed off to me, with this letter....  I also felt embarrassed because there'd been a previous complaint about my letter-writing by a friend and fellow church member during a failed business transaction between us...but that complaint was later resolved.

In an attempt to reason with the stern executive, I wrote him one or two short letters but he didn't respond.  Then I sought advice and information from Canada Post and privacy commissioners because the executive told me he had all my letters at his office in a different city from where I'd sent them....  As I've written elsewhere, I wasn't sure the complainant had even seen the personal letters.... Anyway, I have to be careful of what I write about him and I'm limited....

When I sent the joke, sexual letter I really hadn't thought things through well enough....  Sometimes people have their own problems and it might be better to leave them alone...or I could've explained my views more sensibly and thoroughly, like I'm doing now--but I still couldn't force a response....  I could've expressed myself only.

A short time later, I tried to apologize for the sexual letter by sending flowers but the flowers weren't appreciated....  It took until early 2013 before the flowers were resolved, as far as I could see....  But I had further, legitimate business with the "stern executive" and his office in 1999, and he and I were on a little better terms.

My family and I have perhaps had some un-diagnosed "hyperactivity" issues...?  I've had concerns about other family members in the past...but maybe I need to include myself...?  By this time, I've learned to do mindfulness meditation and journalling, and they help me a lot....  But hyperactivity and controlling one's temper are ongoing issues to be aware of.  [And prescribed medications can actually create anxiety and nervousness, as well.]
