Is this a coded put down or blatant for that matter?

[rainy]

I hope you will be happy to know I do not hate you - and won't even allow the word hate to be used in our house. In fact, I'm not sure most people truly understand the word hate - much less the actual emotion. So, in addition to the inappropriateness of the word, I doubt the accuracy in most circumstances - this one included.

You may recall that is the fear I have shared with you - that my family will see, hear and believe that the Sharon they THOUGHT they knew was replaced by the Sharon they occasionally see.

1. Some context might be helpfull. n/m

.

[rainy]

8. This guy is my husband's partner. We always disagree on

politics. We usually joke but last night he sent me an awful email, it was vicious. He corrected my spelling, typed too fast and misspelled 2 words. And he purposefully wrote a humiliating message. I was crushed and didn't sleep well last night and have been down all day. I wrote back to him that he must really hate me. The above was his response.

11. Your husband's partner has serious problems.

[Marr]

24. Sounds like he was drunk.

I'd tell him it's inappropriate for him to be emailing insults to his partner's wife.

[Caretha]

2. What are you talking about n/t

[rainy]

14. Sorry about the lack of context. This guy is an extreme right-winger

He thinks all people can and should pick themselves up by their boot-straps. We go around sometimes and this is the second time has been mean to me.

22. I would email him back and say

F you and the horse you road in on...

That last sentence about the *real you* sounds kind of like a threat to me...he fears what? That you will voice an opinion he doesn't like?

What does his family have to do with it?

In other words keep your mouth shut and agree with me or there will be hell to pay?

I wouldn't want a business partner like that JMO

3. If this remark was made to me in a calm, cool, collected voice,

I would duck.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. Certainly sounds like a put down from here

But I've got no context at all.

[IndyOp]

5. I think this is an 'insider' post - if we were supposed to

know, we would know.

:shrug:

[Enraged_Ape]

6. Drunk posting

It's never pretty.

Friends don't let friends post drunk.

[Mr_Spock]

9. lol - it's seems to be so....

A response to a post somehow became a new thread?

[rainy]

15. No, read my above posts for more details.

[Mr_Spock]

19. I see - it's a response, but to a person here...

ok

[John Q. Citizen]

7. Passive agressive for sure n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

10. ?

:popcorn: :beer: I Hate suspense don't you?

[OneForLuck]

12. he sounds like a pompous ass

I really don't think I'd worry about if it's a put down or not...

[The Witch]

13. It's not a put down

It's an expression of fear that Sharon's current problems are causing others to fear her.

For example, Sharon may be having mental health problems and the writer of this is afraid that the symptoms of those problems may cause her family to have negative feelings toward Sharon. This person knows better but is afraid her family might not.

It reminds me very much of how things were when I was sick.

16. Sharon is me. I'm just a little outspoken when defending the little

folks against huge corporations. We have discussed our differences. However, lately he has gotten mean about it.

[mzteris]

20. I thought you meant

Ariel Sharon......

now I see why you're taking it "personally" - heck I would to. Tell the guy to go f himself - and your hubby to divest himself - buy/sell - his half of the business and get a new partner. With partners like this, it's a short walk to the big house - 'cause you KNOW if he's this arrogant - he's playing fast and loose with the books and rules.

[Carni]

23. LOL! So did I!

Initially I thought WTF? lol

[bigbrother05]

17. It sounds like a response to a Repug

they always refer to hate when they don't have nothing else to argue about, so I would just ignore.

[converted_democrat]

18. I don't get it.....

Besides this above email, what makes you think he hates you? It's hard to "get it" without the full context behind it. Was there an earlier confrontation besides this one??

[SheilaT]

21. Why do you bother to exchange emails

with this jerk?

Sometimes the best way to handle things is to ignore them.

[laruemtt]

25. another point of view:

maybe he's frustrated because he wants you? have seen this dynamic before - showing inappropriate anger to someone you want but can't have :shrug:

[rainy]

26. On reading this again and seeing your responses It is obviously

a cut. Especially his emphasis on THOUGHT as if what they occasionally see is the real me. I'm suppose to see the Boss here in Norfolk and ride in a lemo with this creep. I'll just have to put on my happy face and give him no more thought.
