I for one, think *you* acted correctly and that Timo did not.  Timo, not
everyone is going to love you all the time, no matter what good things
you do.  Surely, you've run across students who hate you (until years
later!)?  If you don't want to get into a flaming exchange with someone
who mails complaints to you, just ignore him/her.  

=If anything, I may have been a bit too fierce in my

Hey, if you're willing to take the resulting heat, you can email anything!
