John,

since Tim there does not have a contact address on your website, please tell him for me that he is an idiot. in his recent blog regarding Bradford Cox, he states that Mr. Cox made an album with Stars of the Lid this year. this is completely false. Bradford Cox has never had anything to do with Stars of the Lid or their music.

sincerely,

mr. kranky

Really? I'm supposed to tell someone they are an idiot for you? Probably not. I
will forward your email to him though, so in effect you will be telling him
yourself. You really come off sounding like a tool in your email, so I guess you
don't need any help selling records from us. Thats okay by me.

John

dictionary definition:
idiot
noun
1. an utterly foolish or senseless person.

making things up and posting them on the internet as 'fact'? it may
be harsh, but i think the term 'idiot' applies. sorry if i offended
your sensibilities...

john,

okay, now i'm an idiot. bruce adams hasn't worked here in ages and
had nothing to do with this message. i originally replied from our
mail server, where i guess his name is still attached to this account.

regards,

mr. kranky

Oh, just go away. I really couldn't care less who it was from. Asking me to pass
along an insult to one of my employees? What a weasly way to insult someone. You
could have asked for an email address, but decided it was best if I told Tim he
was an idiot (for you, of course). And then to quote the dictionary for me?
You've got the time to insult someone (second hand, of course) but no time to
update your email addresses? Seriously, please show these emails to any
uninvolved party, and get some feedback. I sure plan on it.


John Laurie - really me.

john,

and maybe you should be a little concerned that someone blogging with
your store's name attached could be so wildly wrong about something
that is so easily checked.

Whoa, five emails later and I get a real name. Not just some goofy-assed
nickname. Shouldn't you be more concerned about...oh, I don't know.
Punctuation? Proper email signatures? Not coming off as a tool to someone who
sell's your product? Pick one. Getting pissy about something someone writes on
their blog? Life's too short. Does the stick up your ass have a stick up it's
ass?
