Oh, another email to my landlord...

Mr. X,
Please re-read my below email. I was specifically referring to the fact that you engaged in a physical struggle with Y. I was referring to the fact that you started the struggle. I was referring to the fact that I came downstairs because of the commotion and thought that I might end up physically injured because of the struggle that you caused. I am referring to the fact that you pushed Y. You were raising your voice, Ywas not.

I don't want to get in an argument over legal details, however, I happen to know that Y had a legal right to take down that wall because I built similar structures at two previous residences. As long as Y didn't nail the stucture to the house, it's legaly his to do with as he pleases. Y did not nail the structure into the wall--I was with him when he built it. We had a conversation about that very fact. The structure was held in place using small wedges of wood, like doorstops. As I said, I have done this twice in previous residences. It is firmly seated, but it is not nailed in, and it is not permanent. It is legally considered to be "freestanding." Renters often do this.

And again, it was the safety of the household which you disrupted by engaging in a physical struggle with Y.

Whatever Y did and whatever legal struggles you have with him are irrelevant to the fact that you picked a fight with him and in doing so endangered me, Z, Y, and yourself. I'm quit certain if Y told the police you pushed him, you would have been arrested, because pushing people is wrong, and illegal. Your entire email ignored the fact that you caused a dangerous situation. Pat did not run up the stairs and push you. You ran down the stairs and pushed him. Your email evaded all responsibility for your physical actions, and in no way made me feel better about the situation.
