i hate your site my e mail is brit_qte@[address deleted] hahahahahahahahah ps your a bad speller

[Yup, that's pretty absurd, huh? It's obviously a REALLY BAD attempt to "push my buttons" and get me to mail brit_qte with my retort. How could someone try to say I'm a bad speller? Can anyone find a typo anywhere on my page? I THINK NOT! My reply follows. . . . ]

That's okay, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. If you have something you'd like to discuss with me about why you hate it, and suggestions for improvement, I'd be glad to hear them.

<<my e mail is brit_qte@[address deleted]>>

Then why did you e-mail me from jr@[address deleted] ? I'm not sure what your intention is, but if I didn't know better I'd think perhaps you were trying to get me to e-mail brit_qte and harass him/her about something . . . what's wrong with the e-mail address you wrote me from?

<<hahahahahahahahah>>

If something is that funny, please share the joke.

<<ps your a bad speller>>

Well, I know you're wrong there. Is there something amiss on my Web page? If you find a spelling mistake, please cite it and let me know. Otherwise, you telling me I'm a bad speller doesn't help me much, as I know it's not true. However, you might want to take a look at yourself before you accuse me: you used the word "your" when you actually meant the word "you're." If you need a spelling tutor, perhaps I can help.

This is in regards to the letter you wrote me. I don't know what the deal is with this letter, but I will find out. I don't know what kind of site you have and I really don't care. Except for the fact that you were writing to a 13 year old girl. Yes, brit_qte@[address deleted] is her e-mail address. This is my e-mail address jr@[address deleted]. So I do think you should think about what you write first and consider that what they say, could be the truth. Yes, I do believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No, noone needs a tpying tutor. That is why I send her to school. Thanks anyway!!! If you have anything else to say you e-mail me not my daughter.

Sincerely
Her Mother

[Well, I wasn't thinking miss brit_qte was necessarily a liar, but it would hardly be prudent to write response mail to an address that hadn't mailed me, would it? I was a little annoyed by this letter as it actually seems sincere, like some parent thinks I'm harassing her daughter. Please. Here's my reply.]

I don't know either. It came out of nowhere, unsolicited, and I responded.

<<I don't know what kind of site you have and I really don't care.>>

And I'm not sure who wrote me and why, but I answered.

<<Except for the fact that you were writing to a 13 year old girl. Yes, brit_qte@[address deleted] is her e-mail address. This is my e-mail address jr@[address deleted]. So I do think you should think about what you write first and consider that what they say, could be the truth.>>

I did consider. But I decided to respond to the e-mail address that wrote to me, rather than accidentally address it to someone who might have nothing to do with whatever issue *someone* had with my site. Whoever wrote to me has access to the e-mail address jr@[address deleted], so it is only fair to think that that is who I should respond to.

<<If you have anything else to say you e-mail me not my daughter.>>

If your daughter has anything to say to me, tell her to use her own e-mail address so that I do not end up e-mailing "back" to someone who is not involved. I received a letter from . . . I suppose your e-mail address, and I responded--I am not at fault for any sort of mistake, I did not e-mail myself, and I did not e-mail you or your daughter first. I feel you think I am in error for something and I am not. Out of nowhere, for whatever reason, I received an e-mail from this address [jr@[address deleted]] saying, and I quote the message in its entirety: "i hate your site my e mail is brit_qte@[address deleted] hahahahahahahahah ps your a bad speller" I am not sure what brought this on since I don't know any jr@[address deleted] OR any brit_qte@[address deleted]. If you are jr and your daughter is brit_qte, perhaps she should use her own address to voice any complaints she has on my site . . . though I don't know why she would e-mail me only to seemingly insult me. But these things are not always logical, I suppose.

[I was figuring I'd probably get some high-and-mighty bitch-out from "the parent" again, but instead I got this:]

YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.

[Um . . . yeah . . . I decided if this kid wants to think that she's my worst nightmare because she can e-mail me about how much she hates my site, she's welcome to it, I don't need to reply to this. So I didn't, and never heard from her again.]
