Bitterness apparently leads to unnecessary quotation marks, as evidenced by this bizarre letter written by Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. That semicolon at the beginning should be a colon, and let's not even talk about the comic sans. Or the passive-aggressiveness. Or the odd reference to death and heaven.
Thanks to my friend Dave for encouraging me to read this letter.

Wow! That letter is a disaster from start to finish! Missing punctuation, unnecessary punctuation, improper punctuation. Run-on sentences. Words and sentences in all caps. What a childish rant.
