"Families Are Like Fudge.....

mostly sweet with a few nuts" Families Are Like Fudge......: E-mail Etiquette

Dec 9, 2005
E-mail Etiquette
Okay I have a question for everyone out there in the blog-o-sphere. Tonight I sent an e-mail to my friends and family telling them about a virus that I thought was dangerous. Well come to find out that is wasn't a true virus and that the e-mail was sent out to scare people. Obviously my intent was to not scare people when I got the e-mail from a family member and forwarded it to the people that I know and care about. Well one of the friends that I e-mailed it to looked up the virus name and found it to be a hoax and proceeded to "reply to all" on his e-mail and send this information to all of the people that I had originally sent it to with one exception he added this:
AUDREA!! STOP THIS CRAP ! DONT BE TRYING TO SCARE PEOPLE YA DORK LOL.


Okay I can see where he was trying to be helpful and send it to the people that I sent it to so they didn't get all scared. But should I have been given the chance to do that? Let alone not be called names and not have him lead them to believe that I would try to intentionally scare them?

Am I over reacting and getting mad at him for no reason or should he have sent and e-mail to people he didn't even know?

I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I don't think what he did was right. I think he should have sent me the e-mail and either asked if he should sent it to those people or given me the chance to do that.

What is your opinion?

    Hello I was just roaming blogs when i stumbled on this gem. I find myself with out an answer to your question. It's really not a matter of etiquette, it's a matter of how your other friends took it. I yell no harm no foul Look's likes the dork satement (ya dork lol)was ment to be playfull and it's nice to see someone take time out of there life to help educate on the hoax's e mail floating around. This is just my2cent's.

About Me

Name: Audi
Home: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States
About Me: I was born in Colorado. Lived in Greeley until 2001 and moved to Oklahoma (yes of all places.) I tell people that my car broke down here and I haven't gotten the money to get it fixed. People actually believe me. I miss home but going there every once in a while cures me of that and reminds me of why I left. Though most of my good friends are still there. With the exception of one. She also thought leaving would be a great idea. Though why she left for Washington State is beyond me. Love yah Megs. I also have two wonderful children and a husband that could be counted as a third but I love him too. With them, work and life I just can't seem to keep up, though some how I seem to do a pretty good job at it.
