Mass Emails

I wonder what it is about mass emails containing an advice laced with a little psychological manipulation, that is actually all but an instruction directed at one's good sense and maturity. Granted, it's not directed at me and that the writer has absolutely good intentions, but the indirect implication (perhaps unintended) at another's inherent silliness and immaturity is really... quite... annyoing.

Just one of the latest of the series of emails that irk me whenever they turns up. Probably because I'm darn particular about what I write and how it affects the people who are gonna read it. Sparing a little thought for your intended audience goes a long way. Wanna give someone a piece of your mind? A little reproach? Do it face-to-face, or, if it has to be emailed for convenience sake, then cut the sarcasm and email only the people involved, and keep things as sincere as possible. Wouldn't hurt to proof-read what you've written to see if you're unconsciously dissing someone and letting everyone else share in the dissing by forwarding them a copy, too.

Just my two cents. Probably with my prejudices mixed within too, after having my fonder memories subverted by all these underlying tension. Jeez, be nicer to one another lar. The world would be a much more lovable place if people could have an activity to look forward to with anticipation and delight, without being made to feel obligated and stressed, right?
