My policy is to never write angry letters to clerics. If I am upset at something my bishop has forbidden I write to thank him for an opportunity to break my attachments to created things and mortify my will. If I am disappointed that he moved a priest I write to thank him for the time that the priest was there and cite some specific inarguably good qualities of the priest because you know things go into a guy's permanent file to be used for God knows what.
If I am extraordinarily angry at someone (generally I reserve this for people closer to me than bishops or priests) I have a Mass said for them at mymassrequest.
My point is that if angry letters are going to be hinge on which the door swings, you're going to get a lot more angry letters. I don't think it makes sense to base what you do on that.
