I'm a dumb user, I thought Jonathan was being sarcastic until I read the next email. I don't condone Jonathan's approach, I've learnt the hard way that if you don't approach problems with diplomacy then you'll just alienate the audience. Fortunately I was able to leave that dayjob :) However, I'm also certain that escalating these conversations gets us nowhere. The only positive solution I know of is to try to point the conversation towards constructive issues and not destructive. It's not to retaliate with much the same approach. That's just a personal opinion, I can hit delete the same as the next guy.
