[He asked that I] immediately reconsider this practice as it is very apparent that for the majority of operations this fuel is not needed...when there are no anticipated delays. [I consider this] bullying; intimidation; offensive and insulting commentary directed at a specific individual a possible FAR Part 121.533 violation.
