I do not think your mail does help this case. It does read quite a lot 
of "they kicked me, now I fight them". That is a bad start.

But the most interesting part in my first read of it is this:

First, we do have a process around somewhere, if one DD thinks another 
should be out of the project. Not used often, thankfully, but existing.

Second, while the above is written without names, it shouldn't be hard 
for people involved to find out who is meant. Something like slander, 
defamation or similar could get lawyers involved. Doesn't sound like a 
way to take. Please be careful what you write on our public lists.
