I've slept on it and I'm still really mad. I'm not looking to be talked in or out of anything, but I'd like to hear what you guys would do in my situation. Am I over reacting?

No, they are pains in the arseholes.

First off, I would NOT #### them in the ### with a lawn mower. That kinda thing is frowned upon regardless of what side of the pond you are on.

I would contact this new UDE OP guy and tell him the deal. I know you don't want to put a damper on your new relationship with him, so have someone else read the letter before you send it. Tell him how you feel, BRIEFLY tell him what you've been through, then ask him when he can address this issue so you and the Vs. fans in the UK can rest easy. Also, let him know you will follow up (and WHEN you will follow up - "I know you can't answer all my concerns right away, but I'd love to call you/email you next Friday to discuss this, in part so I know what to tell the many Vs. fans here in the UK).

BTW - you are a God for dealing with all this.

...I'd probably go with the lawnmower in the arsehole. So, I think you should probably listen to TheDwarf.

Same here.

I would merely put forward the following advice;

having skimmed the information given, and that you mentioned how enraged you are, that you are more likely now, than other times, to make a bad decision.

You outlined pretty strictly that you are very emotional at the present time, and, therefore inherently illogical.

Doing something "out of principle", when outlined as such, is a subconscious admission that what you are considering isn't the strictly logical decision. Therefore, it is flawed.

If you are going to make a decision out of anger, sorrow, denial, frustration, or any other of the human mind's myriad of emotional states, than you are compromised in your decision making ability - that's a totality.

Emotional states have their evolutionary purpose, of course; in a world of quick life and death decisions (a "fight or flight" world, so-to-speak) they are a shortcut around logical thought in what is naturally selected as generally beneficial programming, and also help serve as a primitive, precursor decision-matrix to intelligent thought; but let's be honest, to the human being, as an organism capable as vastly logical, intelligent and precise analysis (I'm talking about you), emotional decision-making is inherently inferior to logical decision-making.

Never do anything "out of principle". Remove yourself emotionally from the situation entirely, and make a rational decision. If you cannot do this, you must admit to yourself that you cannot make a quality decision in this regard.

As it stands, if you are enraged and about to commit to an action "out-of-principle", than you are about to make a mistake.

It should be noted, however, that I'm not claiming that your course of action should be the one your emotions are shying away from, but rather that in your current state you are in no position to adaquetly differentiate between the two.

You should rip them a new one. They continue to make mistakes pretty regularly now. You aren't the only one that's getting upset with this company.
