Dear Mr Tan,

You may be entitled to Freedom Of Expression and therefore to say what you did.

However, there are nuances in your insinuations which leave you at risk of unfriendly retaliation. Besides, your preachy tone smacks of an authoritarian mindset. Ah, but these are merely my own personal Opinions, which I am also entitled to express under the concept of Freedom of Speech.
