Final Letter from Ted to Chi
May 7, 2012
Dear Mr. Chi:
I never even bothered to glance through the proposed website material that you sent me with your letter November 9, 2011, because by that time it was obvious that you were hopelessly irrational, a real screwball. …
... Anyone who does anything as stupid as sending material of that kind to an inmate of a high-security prison has to be mentally ill ...
... I will have nothing further to do with you under any circumstances whatever....
[He advised Chi to drop the website idea and see a psychiatrist.]
... You are so irrational that, in attempting to resist the system, you will only get yourself into big, big trouble ...
