Jason did this. (Jim apparently only felt the need to investigate the
way the e-mail was sent, but Jason referred both issues to Jim.)

Jason put a single comment in the database regarding the item, and all
subsequent discussion by him was over e-mail.

Well, Jason did tell Mike to keep quiet. And he sent this e-mail in
response to Alex:
http://www.math.cmu.edu/~hpt/DST/4.22.1.html
How is that not backing off to a reasonable tone, especially given that
he was responding to these:
http://www.math.cmu.edu/~hpt/DST/4.13.4.html
http://www.math.cmu.edu/~hpt/DST/4.18.1.html

So, to make sure I understand this, your position is that, by making
critical comments regarding the application, Jason was implicitly and
unintentionally discouraging Dale from approving the application. Is
this what you are saying Jason did wrong?
