		<description>Hi Ryan,

Only you can make the call. But I agree with Rasheed, if it would compromise your relationships, it&#039;s likely that you should not do it. If it would compromise your business, it&#039;s likely that you should not do it.

If, however, these are relationships in which this truth - whatever it may be - needs to be known, it may be fine to share it. On the other hand, it may be more appropriate to share it with these people privately. Think about whether or not it is fair to those people to share this letter publicly.

By the same token, if your business would be compromised in the sense that you won&#039;t get the jobs you don&#039;t want and don&#039;t need - if this is a truth that you can feel good about sharing with the world - then it may be appropriate to share the letter.

Lastly, imho, you should think carefully about why you want to share the letter. From what you wrote, it doesn&#039;t weigh out in favor of sharing the letter.

But I suspect there may be more to this than we see on the surface. And only you know, deep down, whether not you should share it. Be sure you get to that &quot;deep down&quot; before you make a decision you may regret.

Namaste,

		<description>Hi Ryan,

Of course I&#039;m curious, but there&#039;s always the possibility that sharing it would cause division and tension among your readers, and whether or not that possibility bothers you is your business--it&#039;s your blog. The suggestion that it&#039;s &quot;not P.C.&quot; increases my interest level, so if you decide to share it only with those who desire, please count me in. Thanks.

		<description>Thank you so much for all of your comments.

Part of me wants to do what Caleb suggests. Why share the letter with people who aren&#039;t interested?

But part of me wants to put it out there for everybody. It would be presumptuous of me to judge who should read the letter and who shouldn&#039;t.

In case you&#039;re interested, I just gave some additional details in this post...

		<description>You lost me on this one. I have learned to turn my curiosity gene down quite a bit since dealing with the marketing world, so without more info on the letter itself I would have to honestly say my feelings on seeing it are ambivalent.  That being said, the post itself was strong enough for me to want to post here, lol.</description>
