The innocent email that started it all:

From: "Adam Lambert" | Add to Address Book
To: RADVISOR@LISTSERV.SC.EDU




Question to everybody

If you could one thing about the RA job what would it be and why?
Just
wondering


And the reply:

To whom it may concern (Adam Lambert):
You can not work in central campus. What exactly is your
current major? I hope it's not in the School of Liberal Arts since you left
a word out of your question. I assume you meant to say, "If you could
change one thing about the RA job what would it be and why? Just
wondering.” If you expect me to take my time to read your email, you should
be courteous enough to take time yourself and write something that is
worth reading. I expect that you will clutter up my inbox with
responses to this email so when you do please keep the following guidelines in
mind. Keep the fragments to a minimum; no one wants to read a
sentence with no subject, and be sure that pieces of your sentences are not
lost in transit from your head to the email. I know this is a difficult
concept but not everyone is telepathic. Finally, write something in
the subject blank, for example, “WARNING, this email contains poor
grammar, prepare to have your IQ lowered.”
Now, I will respond to the weakest question ever posted on the
list serve. If I were to change anything about the RA position, I
would change the selection process. Applicants who may feel the need to
clutter up my inbox with useless emails would be the first ones
eliminated. Useless emails like the one I am responding to are tangible evidence
that the devil is alive and well, and he is working hard to bring death
and destruction to us all. Maybe that was a little overboard but
really, this is the weakest posting I have ever seen in my entire life! Do
you call this participating in list serve discussion? You didn’t even
give your own opinion! If you wrote this question on a post-it note the
message would not even fill up half of it! This is probably why my
internet was down yesterday, the server was looking for the rest of your
posting!
Finally, I just have to say that not everyone can be as good as
Central Campus.

Sincerely,
Stan Worthington

Everyone,
I have come to realize that the tone I used in my last email can be
taken the wrong way. I would like to reassure all of you that I mean
no harm. I often use a sarcastic tone to communicate my thoughts. I
was simply trying to get my point across with a little humor. I
apologize to those who may have been offended.
Also, while here in Central Campus we often tease about being the
best, I do realize that we are one big housing family.

What a worthless asshole . I will dig through my inbox and share the one he sent me. He was sooo offended by my email addy. What a douchebag. In response to the emails in this post.... Adam asked a simple question... we all make mistakes... it is no big deal.... Stan is an asshole and thinks he is funny when clearly he is not. If he has to worry about having his IQ lowered--- well... I think we can stand to realize that Stan is not as intelligent as he believes he is. Douchebag.
