Hi Anthony,
I'm going to discuss this matter with my sister before responding.

Mark,

I’m sorry to read things haven’t improved with your attitude since I last heard 
from you over eighteen months ago.  I don’t think the personal things you have 
said here are appropriate for a philosophy discussion group or particularly very 
Zen.

I initially put your hostility over Christmas 2006 down to a reaction from your 
mother’s death but (underneath all the false accusations of plagiarism, lack of 
integrity etc.), I now realise it largely stems from you not being invited along 
the September 2006 MOQ film trip across America.  The fundamental and simple 
reason for that is that you had no experience making films.  However, David 
Buchanan, Gavin Gee-Clough and Rebecca Temmer did while still having a good 
grasp of the MOQ.  It’s unfortunate that such decisions can often “tread on 
toes” but I wasn’t being in the business here with being nice but rather 
document the surviving people and places associated with the original 1968 ZMM 
road trip as best as possible with a relatively limited equipment and budget.

Considering all the time, energy and opportunities that you were given by me 
over many years, it’s a pity that you’re still acting like a spoilt brat about 
this one issue over eighteen months later.  However, I do hope you understand 
one day (when you’ve “hung up the ego” maybe?) that your exclusion from this 
part of the film project was down to pragmatic reasons rather than anything 
personal.

In the meantime, congratulations on achieving the MA.

Anthony
