Steen is a former president, but he did not take ESBIA letterhead, compose the letter, and sign the president's name.

I never said he did.

Of course those with a propensity to believe conspiracy theories will not want to look at the letter in any way except as part of some grand conspiracy involving a board member or the entire board.

"....involving a board member or the entire board."  I never suggested such.

The error in judgment was by the executive director or secretary at ESBIA who created the letter and sent it to Marvin at his request. Whomever the ESBIA employee, the individual made a serious mistake -- in judgment.

The employee may have just been "following orders."  Until someone mail the letter to the local papers.

What's your unsupported speculation on the letter?

Absolutely no speculation at all.  To stop the S.T.O.P. campaign.  There has to be a reason or motive for mailing the letter.  It certainly wasn't sent just for the hell of it or because there was nothing better to do that day.  Here is the reason for the letter.
