Subject: Unbelievable...You know I really can't believe it when I get flamed by doing a good
thing. I would like to thank a certain individual who sent me an
OFFENSIVE e-mail regarding the location of a decent play. Your
level of class and intelligence really amazes me.
You probably gave away his favorite play.
Rate his response as directly related to IQ & lack of emotional stability.
It's akin to what happens to a lot of gut responses that we see here. People
respond without thinking. Someone posts a response with some minor criticism,
hormones get control and out comes a reply meaner than the "perceived" slight.
The internet has made it easy for us to hide behind keyboards tossing out the
first thing that comes to mind. On the other hand, it's a good way to get a
reading on a person since it reveals what this person REALLY thinks of others.
So knowing this answers the question of "Do I want to have anything to do
with this person?"
My standard response is none at all. There are too many people in this world
who are worth keeping in touch with and others ....
