in the right

質問

I need counsel on how to deal with a persistently creepy colleague in the arts community who styles himself my “fan.” Happily, I don’t have to see him daily, but he sends me regular (unanswered!) emails and messages that make my skin crawl. Part of the trouble is that they aren’t exactly creepy stalker emails; he is trying to make it seem like an ongoing, two-sided conversation and an appeal to our shared artistic interests—and there are people in our circle who seem fine with him.
Recently, he has begun to use my professional achievements as pretexts to make contact and seems to be trying to force a response. For instance, after congratulating me in person for a promotion in a sexist way, he sent me a lengthy email explaining why he was perfectly in the right.

in the rightは単にrightと言うのとは何が違うのでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

in the rightは単にrightと言うのとは何が違うのでしょうか？

大した違いは感じられませんが、rightと言うのは単なる個人としての（間違っている度合いが大きい）のに対して、in the rightは、それが（万人に通じる）正しい道だ、と言う感じがします。
