Eh, if he's forwarding that email, he sounds like one of those flag-idolaters who aren't much worth your time anyway.

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!'

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

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.

But see, even doing that requires not particularly caring what other people think about you. Or I would have been hectored into sleeping inside something.

And I thought I used a sleeping bag. I know I did have bedding of some sort. And sleeping under my car is very logical. If I'm under (or more sleeping really close to) my car nobody else will accidentally run me over and camp ground parking spaces are generally relatively smooth and level.

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.

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