A little late to this, but I think Jared is on the right path with the personal letter if a continuing relationship with the unnamed guru is of value. For me influence is a combination of personal connection / likeability + knowledge. If I don't like you, you won't influence me. If you dont have the knowledge you wont influence me. But as Autom points out, Gurus, while idolozed are human. They have moments which impact their likeability. If the previous relationship matters write the letter. If there *wasn't* a previous relationship though..buy his / her next book for the knowledge and "Next". It is a cautionary tale to the wanna be Gurus though hey? Hmm.

But you may want to ask yourself why you'd bother explaining your position to someone who has randomly shut the door on you for no apparent reason. I for one would simply mosey on along and go "NEXT!" The choice is obviously yours but I just wanted to drench your thoughts with as much objectivity and detached reflection before you give in to an emotional impulse =) Jared - your aim is true and your intentions quite admirable.
