For whatever reason, this absolutely fucking infuriated me. This guy sends me at least three or four emails a week - all the Virus Warnings (the hoaxes you see on Snopes), the “Pray for the Little Lost Kid” emails, the “Bill Gates will send you thousands of dollars if you forward this email” email. All the garbage. For the most part, he’s a tolerable nuisance at worst. But, inexplicably, today I decided to respond with a little levity. The result? Ugh. (Start at the bottom, obviously)

Subject: Re:
Jose,
I actually thought this was a joke at first. Obviously, it is not. After all the nonsense you’ve emailed me, I respond to something and you send me THIS???
Delete my address from your Address Book right now, and don’t ever send me another email again.
Fuck you,
Winston
P.S. You’ll notice I’ve dropped Laurie (Jose’s fiance - W.S.) and her Mother from this email. The next “Fuck You” email will be “Reply to All”. Do not incite me further.
