step 1
Don't respond to the subject at hand,instead throw in something personal. like
orMs Terry quipped
then follow it up withI’m sorry you interpreted ‘respectfully’ as self-righteous and demeaning to you
A seemingly nice, but very effective stabYou seem to delight in misinterpreting my motives.
you can then end it with another one, to show how nice you are.step 2My deepest apologies, nonetheless.
MsTerry, will then respond in kind (but she isn't as nice at it) and be the bad bitch. She will say things likeAct innocently now, just say things likeI'm sorry to see you getting so snide with meor better yet, get real personal"Quip": sarcastic or witty comment. Your specialty, no?but don't offer any proof, instead keep up the nice front with something sarcasticYou are quite sensitive, if I may say sostep 3Even though you call me "snide" without knowing me or my motives, I thank you for your good wishes!
At this point, you'll be receiving those private emails of support from Barry and Braggi and you will bring out the beast in MsTerry, she'll probably write something real nasty likeYou got her where you wanted her nowYes, I can sense those "friendly" stabs a mile away.
step 4
now, you got to close it,
and resign in indignationMs Terry, You are unkind and rude to folks you disagree withbut not before you blame her for your feelingsThis is my last communication with youand don't forget, one last stabto the point that you make them feel sad/mad/irritated.And just to be catty, be nice at the endI hope you find a more constructive form of recreation.
If this doesn't get you sympathy for the outrageous behaviour on MsTerry's part, nothing will.I wish you well!
Just remember, you don't have to prove that she is rude or unkind, you just have to SAY it and it automatically becomes the truth
