Does anyone here like conflict?

I've been working with the lady at the community college where I've been teaching to get ready to teach an online course for the Summer. I find her really annoying to work with.

She sent two e-mails this week to all of the online teachers that I perceived to have a strong negative tone. The first one was like we were being scolded. Evidently some teachers had communicated with their students that there were problems with the online website.

I don't know, it's just like I wind up feeling put down a great deal of the time after reading her e-mails.

My perception is she is technically good, but doesn't have the leadership and communication skills to really be effective in her position.

I finally did express some of my specific issues with the Dean today.

She also seems to hold onto data, like the problems with the website, that really should be passed along to the teachers.

I feel like she doesn't recognize my intelligence and experience, and talks to me like a child. I know I'm not making myself perfectly clear right now, but hope somebody will write back with some support anyway.
