"Talking with Elmer reveals that he is very annoyed with these people. It does cause unwanted calls to the office."

So when you called the office to discuss this with Elmer, is that when he told you he was getting unwanted calls?

It is valid that the CAPEX be discussed at this point. It is the most important information to come out of the much anticipated BFS. To my mind resorting to name-calling ("the last try by the stupid and the crooked") is not very useful and only suggests to me that the discussion has gone off the rails.
