And do you remember asking for this dipshit’s opinion?
Just tell him if you need to know what he thinks, you’ll personally pull his head out of his ass, and ask him.
Some people…
Yeah, he was probably my least favorite person I dealt with this semester before he sent this email. My estimation just went down. It’s amazing.
Want me to kick his ass for ya?
He’s kinda big, but you can try. 🙂
Well, that’s very silly of him. If he had an actual opinion, he should have shared it or kept it to himself; using absolutes and criticising without examples and without suggestions just marks the email as intended solely to hurt you, and containing no real substance.
I expect it did hurt you anyway, because it caught you off-guard, and I’m sorry. But it’s really best to ignore these kinds of attacks, and only pay attention to constructive criticism.
See, that is logical and sane and adult. Some things that I am still working on.
And yeah, it did hurt. Even though I know he is an asshat.
He’s wrong, of course.
Oh, of course. 😉
He’s SO wrong. You are so right to be a teacher.
Do not let this attack sink any deeper sweety- it was malicious and misdirected.
Very malicious. For the life of me I don’t understand what he was doing at home sending emails like that at 11:40 on a Saturday night. Didn’t he have anything better to do?
Ouch… I’m often home sending emails at 11pm on Saturdays myself. My weekends are much more open than my weeks.
QTIP
… hmm…
that, I think, is exactly the point. Now I dunno who this “tim” person is, but if he’s sending mean & hurtful stuff like this, he probably DOESN’T, and is probably bitter about the fact that, among other pluses, you’re young and cute with a good social life, so he attacks you to make himself feel better about being home alone bored on a saturday night.
you should SO become a teacher, lovely. You got the performance shtick, and you splain stuff really well.
k’ love you b’bye…
What she said
He was thinking about you and thinking how beautiful you are and loathing himself and knowing that he could never get anywhere near someone as cool as yourself so he decided to hate you and try to hurt you. That’s when he sent the email.
Hrmmmm….that smacks of drunken bitterness after receiving yet another round of rejections at the local watering hole…..
Heh. Sounds like he was projecting his own worst fears about himself on to you. His problem, his mirror, obviously has little to do with you!
(hug) anyway for waking up to an annoying email…
Considering that th first word I would use to describe him is pretentious…. yeah. He really is.
Who does he think he is anyway? Obviously he doesn’t know you at all. You are compassionate, intelligent and strong….EXACTLY what it takes to be a wonderful teacher!
*hugs* He thinks he is the authority, obviously.
He doesn’t sound like an authority to me. He sounds like an ASS! You don’t need people like this in your life, honey. The people who you choose to have around you should feel lucky and honored. I know that I do!
Say the word and I’m out there, beating his ass with a big stick.
Hugs and love to you.
Would I get to see you afterwards? Ok, word. 🙂 But just cause I would get to see you.
Once in awhile I get somethign nasty like that. I “return it to sender”. I just do a “reply” on the email, but don’t say anything at all.
They’ve never written back. Like, when they see their own words, they get ashamed.
On other tacks, presumably this is another teaching student? If so, the faculty might be very interested to hear about the charmer. Did he send this personal attack thru a SJSU computer account? The system admins will *love* to see that he’s using a computer account to harrass another student.
I forwarded it to the professor with the comment that it was inappropriate harrassment.
Yay. Great idea.
Good. I mean, it would be one thing if it were polite and contained substantive criticism of things you needed to work on, but this thing, WTF?
Maybe a bunch of us can get together and show him the error of his ways…y’know bunches of your friends haven’t actually met, because we move in different circles. What a chance for a meeting!
We meet, we talk, we inflict a little bodily harm, maybe we head out and get some lunch. Perfect.
It’d sure suck to find out that someone hacked his email account or something, but then we’ll just be teaching him about the importance of choosing a good password.
Anyway, make sure to let us know.
(And, as mentioned, he is, of course, completely wrong.)
It would be an amusing way to have my friends meet… but probably not good. People might get arrested, and that would be bad.
We show the jury the email – they’ll never convict.
We could just limit the violence to noogies, maybe. Something he’ll be embarrassed to report.
“Officer, I’d like to report an assault. I was just gang-noogied.”
Y’know, they say opinions are *like* assholes….but I think this guy got them confused.
*snort*
Something like that.
okay, I know that I can be a total and utter brat, but I was wondering…did you cut and paste his text? That is, did he opt for the non-capitalized “god” and the bifurcation of “be come”? And, if so, please tell me that *he* isn’t planning to teach English. I mean, I’d be concerned about his ideas of how to motivate, encourage, correct, and discipline students, based on the fact that he’d send that sort of email, but his grasp of the subject matter also seems tenuous.
That was cut’n’paste. He is planning to teach history. He can’t even capitalize his own name.
Asshat.
At any rate, he has certainly shown himself to be a paragon of maturity.
He is the future nightmare of any teacher’s lounge in America.
“Please, for the love of god, don’t be come a teacher.”
Be. Come. Be SPACE come.
Please, for the good of the language, become a teacher.
Hey, hey. I’m with all those people who were smart enough to be able to speak and write the English language correctly, regardless of whether it’s their first or not. However, I’m NOT with all those people who have offered to beat him up. I’m far more devious than that. This sort of email is trying for one of two things: a) a reaction or b) to make him feel better about his own pretention and idiocy. Both of these things are best solved by ignoring the email. However, if you can find some way (perhaps reporting it to faculty, like you did) to make it completely clear to him that by sending the email he caused himself all sorts of trouble, but not to let on that he hurt you, you’ve really nailed him. He continues wallowing in shame and bitterness about being an idiot who can’t spell, while having to deal with the trouble that he KNOWS he brought down on himself.
DISCLAIMER: Not all people who can’t spell are idiots. I, myself, amd a lousy speller, and an English major. I know this, I admit to it. I blame my second major for destroying my ability to spelle the wyrds of the Englysh speche correctly. However, things like making “become” one word is pretty obvious, and as a history teacher, he, of all people, needs to know that “God” is capitalized.k
