I refrained from responding to a snarky email today - ask me anything!
A person who has been a thorn in the flesh tried to get a reaction from me today and I refused to bite. I will admit that a coworker talked me into that course - I wanted to snark right back but she convinced me that the best strategy was just to pretend I never got the email. She was probably correct but I really wanted to let this person have it. Ah well....

1. You're a bigger person than me! Congrats on your good judgement!
I had a similar situation tonight. I should've ignored it, walked away from someone just trying to get a rise out of me. Sadly, I bit!

As to asking you anything...how are you feeling about your choice now?

2. I am thinking I probably better stay away from my email for a while.
My willpower is not all that great.

3. Dammit, you clearly don't understand!
If you don't respond, civility and peace may break out. Then where will we be???

4. Actually in this case there is a possibility it will just make this person madder.
So I may get the psychological satisfaction of seeing her stew in her juices and all the while I can claim the high road. This is a great country. I am feeling quite smug now.
