Ghoulish Johnson is right! Thanks, GD.

I think this is one of those times where I'm supposed to be telling myself 'It ain't you, let it go' but my people pleasing side is telling me 'But someone HATES you. You need to fix that!'

If they hate you, then they are stupid. And there ain't no way to fix stupid.

Let's see if they publish at least one of them like last time.
I got a call from one saying that they're 99% sure they will publish my letter.
That's awesome.
I hope he reads it.
I wrote about how DADT and DOMA are still around and that he should refrain from making any new year's resolutions for 2010, seeing as how he can't keep his campaign promises why bother with resolutions for the new year?

Not evil, VGCM

If he's pissed you did a reply-all suggest he learns what the BCC line in his email client is for.

If he's pissed that you make him look like a ninny, a bit of introspection on his part is in order.



Have you received any comments from the recipients you emailed?

Two "Out of Office" replies and three "Right on, Brad!" emails.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Eh, the two "Out of Office" sound like the type of people who take more vacations than you, not much worth your time anyway. Pricks.

Getting over this impulse is the next vital step in your question to flawlessly Alex someone.

"Flawlessly Alexing someone" sounds like something that should have been addressed at the Geneva Convention.

Ghoulish Johnson is right! Those pricks!

But "Alexing" could mean a number of things. For instance, if I said I Alexed at the last camping trip, it would mean that in the evenings I slept on the ground under my car sans sleeping bag.

It's a LoT meme - to Alex someone. I like it!

And GC, I know what you mean about being a people pleaser. I too struggle with that.
