There's nothing more fun than damning with faint praise

[XemaSab]

I responded to fuckhead's email with a fairly long, scathing email of my own, in which I pointed out all the fucked up, crazy things he's said and done which he needs to take ownership of.

Originally I was going to say "Which isn't to say that you're not in possession of MANY good qualities," but then I reconsidered and changed it to "Which isn't to say that you're not in possession of SEVERAL good qualities."

I am happy with myself for this wording. :D

(Sadly, intelligence is NOT among his several good qualities, so I'm not sure it will actually provoke the unsettled feeling I was aiming for. :( )

1. Is this in the right spot?

This post needs more background. Unless the framework of the rest of the email indicates that you find this individual lacking, well, you may need to write another email.

Faint praise is favored by passive aggressive types. It can work.

2. If I were him and saw more than 50 words I'd delete it without reading

at that point you're both in, anyway.

7. I was really tempted to respond with two words

one of them being "you." :P

8. "Several" implies more than one good quality

and it's debatable whether being a wiseass even qualifies as one to start with. :P

10. Are you still escalating the drama with this guy? You've received lots of advice here to move on.

Most people in this thread have no idea what you're talking about, so I took the liberty of finding the previous threads on this ongoing drama.

He rather diplomatically told you he was not interested in you asked you to stop contacting him. Several people advised you to drop it and move on - one pointed out that what you're doing could be considered stalking.

IMHO, you need to come to terms with this and let it go. I hope you can find some peace with yourself. Just don't expect him to supply it to you.
