There are times when you are the BOSS, you have to be able to take the shots that are coming at you. You have to have thick skin and you have to realize you have more to lose than the person throwing the shots at you.
Was the fan’s email to Dolan harsh and could have been worded differently (you can read the whole thing here)? Of course, but Dolan has to know better than to reply to any fan like this.

You are a sad person. Why would anybody write such a hateful letter. I am.just guessing but ill bet your life is a mess and you are a hateful mess. What have you done that anyone would consider positive or nice. I am betting nothing. In fact ill bet you are negative force in everyone who comes in contact with you. You most likely have made your family miserable. Alcoholic maybe. I just celebrated my 21 year anniversary of sobriety. You should try it. Maybe it will help you become a person that folks would like to have around. In the mean while start rooting.for the Nets because the Knicks dont want you.

The fact that the Knicks aren’t flat out denying it, means that it is probably authentic and they are trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation before making a public comment.
The #Knicks have declined to comment on the authenticity of the email allegedly written by team owner James Dolan.
