I really hope this is a bs rumor I can't see any MEC stooping that low.
Let's pretend for a second that this was true... why would the arbitrator ( a professional dispute resolution expert) forward a clearly inflammatory letter to the Pinnacle MEC? Obviously that would tick pinnacle off and I just don't think the arbitrator is that stupid. And all of that ignores that the XJ MEC isn't that stupid either. They seem like guys with their heads screwed on straight. I call BS on the whole rumor.
