George,

If you park your car in a Target parking lot, and a light pole falls over and hits your car, do you blame the manager of the store's shoe department?

If that store sells you a TV that shorts out and starts a fire in your living room, do you blame the cashier who rang you up?

Blaming me for what Global's owners did makes about as much sense. I did my job to the best of my ability. I had no idea what the owners were up to until it was too late. The decisions that hurt you and Nita were made above my head and behind my back. I'm sorry that the owners aren't on SOT to respond to you. But it isn't right for you to make me a scapegoat for how THEY treated you.

I hope you can see my point here, and again, I would be happy to discuss this with you directly.

Thank you,

Ben
