Ten Days Ago.
I received an email from someone I have deliberately not spoken with since July. I didn’t know, precisely, when I’d get such an email, but part of me knew it would eventually arrive in one form or another.
I asked myself if I had any compelling reason to respond. My rather resounding answer was that I did not. The only, and somewhat less than compelling, reason would be to avoid being rude. Then, would that breach of social etiquette even come close to the way he had treated me? I’m still quite in the clear.
Let it be known I did actually deliberate on the subject of response.
My final decision was that no response was warranted, until such time the author put forth a modicum of effort by using proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. That is to say, illustrated some level of respect; expecting a response to that dreck is most ridiculous.
