The Rudest Email Ever or Mean People Suck Part II
Today I received an email from an angry would-be subscriber to the magazine where I do some freelance work. He* is angry about one of our policies, which I can understand. Other people have complained about the policy. But no one has resorted to cursing and name-calling like this:

Over the years, I’ve received my share of rude emails. Razzberry probably generated the most, but were also the easiest to forgive. Teenagers can be quick to anger and impulsive; they’re still working things out — and razzberry was a place for them to do it.
But this guy has no such excuse. Since he is subscribing to College Parent Magazine, presumably he has a child in high school. I hope he is teaching his child more respect for others than he seems to have.
(*yep, I know it’s a guy, I have his name.)
