Not that I’m defending him, but he didn’t mean to be hurtful. He just thought he was being funny and he wasn’t. He didn’t intentionally mean to be hurtful. Try not to take it so seriously. Just delete the bad emails.

Actually, I can see the humour behind Richard’s email. It’s not well written or particularly funny, but I doubt he really was trying to be hurtful. He’s probably just not that great of a writer and perhaps we would have laughed more if we had the joke in person (kind of like talking to Aaron in real life v. talking to Aaron online). You know how much I love the bear, KZ…but just don’t worry so much about the random crap. What one person has to say about the site is not indicative of how the majority feels.

The world is made up many many different kinds of people. To think everyone is like you and understands all that you do is arrogant. Very few people actually truly understand another person, and even then it usually takes years and years and years of dealing with that person to reach this understanding. Until then, you have to be careful in what you say and how you say it because most likely, somewhere along the line, someone WILL take it a different way than maybe it was meant to be. I don’t see the humor in his email. I see it as offensive in a playful way. But an insult is an insult. And insults like that can only be taken as ‘jokes’ if you know the person very well. Well enough to know that they dont really mean it. I doubt Richard has reached that stage of friendship. But mistakes do happen, and maybe he truly didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. But I feel you handled the situation very maturely and very well. Good job Kevin!

Thanks. Again, I’m not worried so much about those people that dislike the site. I’m more concerned with assholes that believe they have a right to say hurtful things without hearing a complaint afterward. The point is he didn’t say it to my face. He scrawled it anonymously like some vagrant scribbling on a restroom stall. If he were face to face with me, I doubt he’d be so bold.
