1) He was completely rude in his email - which is hardly a good way of advocating metric.
I noticed that, but mostly it's the sole way to talk to ignorants
2) The timing of the email was quite sensitive, being on the anniversary of his friend's (a 'metric martyr') death.
didn't know that.
3) His English is atrocious - considering he's meant to be an English-speaking translator!
yeah, noticeds that too.
Either typed to fast or he isn't a native speaker.
