I decided to send a cordial email thanking the people at the meeting for their time and apologizing for not working with them on this. I guess I'm embarrassed and guilty about how bad things went although it's not like I was cussing everyone out and trashing the place. They were making a clumsy attempt at helping me, but I thought I'd cut them a little slack give them benefit of the doubt.

Maybe I should have just let it go, but this gives me closure. And it was sincere.
