Good start to the day

[sobrique]

Well, I've just been involved in an email discussion.
I dislike getting nasty emails.
The one centres around something that I volunteered to do last year, but have since decided that I'm no longer prepared to deal with the 'hassle'.

I feel somewhat indignant that I get a somewhat snotty email about how I'm being stubbornly unhelpful.

Now, the way I see it is this: If I volunteer to do something, I will do the best I can to accomplish it.
If I stop doing something (which I volunteered for), I will give sufficient warning that I will, such that those who have come to depend upon it will have time to make other arrangements.

It's somewhat ironic that the primary reason why I stopped then finds the need to flame me over it.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do about a group activity where one member of the group seems to be very successful at antagonising a lot of the others.

Never mind, after a couple of cups of coffee, I will calm down again, and then will get on with the rest of my day.

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say.. if this is the person I think it is then needless to say something similar happened to me fairly recently... All I can say is I was suckered into something I then reached the point of well "I don't have to do this so I'll think I'll stop now its making me ill". at which point I recived some very nasty emails. at which point I banned the said emailer from all my mail boxes. If said emailer can't be civil then I have nothing more to say to him and I don't care to read or hear what he has to say to me.

Now this could be the same person.. it may not.. either way.. I agree with the majority here..

fuck em.. why put your nose out if they're gonna be uncivil. I think the emails just go to prove why you said no in the first place. Locke off and ignore their existance.. its working for me..
