Hi Shanika,
Please do not discuss AngryPages Inc., a California-based U.S. company, with me again.
Your behavior toward me has been bizarre, erratic, and, in my view, delusional for years. Your repeated pattern of accepting guests, rejecting them, changing your position, and attempting to interfere while I am speaking to people has now been documented.
I am deeply ashamed that, in your 50s, you have presided over the loss of Ceylon Weighing Machines, the S-Class, and the garden through a legal dispute that you failed to properly pursue from approximately 2005 and only petitioned over much later.
Your record does not give you any standing to advise me on business, finance, legal strategy, trust, or company management. From my perspective, your experience has principally demonstrated how to lose money, mishandle litigation, make disastrous agreements, and damage relationships within your own family.
If I had been deciding that case, based on what I know, I would have regarded the underlying arrangement with Lal as an extraordinarily poor agreement that you knowingly entered into and then allowed to damage our family's position for decades.
You and Jagath insisted on handling the dispute involving Lal as a legal matter. Thus far, that effort has, in my view, failed completely. Yet Lal, whom I believe caused enormous financial harm to our family, appears to be one of the few people who continues to respect your handling of matters.
Do not presume to lecture me about how to run AngryPages.
Do not sit beside me and attempt to instruct me on the legal, operational, financial, or strategic management of my company. You have invested essentially nothing in AngryPages beyond asking Koshitha and Oshi to purchase approximately $10 worth of products. Beyond that, your contribution has largely consisted of criticism.
You therefore have no authority to tell me whom I should invite, whom I should trust, whom I should speak to, or with whom AngryPages should conduct business.
The incident involving Nilmini was particularly unacceptable. If I am speaking to someone and wishing her a happy birthday, you do not interfere, make faces, walk away dramatically, or attempt to dictate whether I may speak to her. Given that behavior, you are in no position to instruct me on how I should communicate with other people.
Regarding Hemasiri, I have already reached the end of my patience. If he cannot provide the book this week as promised, I am prepared to terminate the publishing relationship. I have already removed six authors where the relationship was no longer worth maintaining, and I will do so again.
At least Tenali and Quintus have produced actual sales and demonstrated some value to AngryPages.
This boundary is final:
Never attempt to advise me again on how to run AngryPages, whom I should trust, whom I should invite, or how I should conduct my business.
You do not have the experience, results, investment, or authority to do so.
Lehan
