Email Wars

 Here are the common signs of an email war:

Abuse of CC and "Reply All": The conflict is expanded by involving unnecessary people, or taking group emails and replying to people individually.

Rapid, Emotional Responses: Messages are sent quickly while the sender is angry.

Escalating Tone: The language becomes progressively more hostile, defensive, or accusatory.

Misinterpretations and Accusations: Public questioning, direct accusations, or misunderstandings are shared via email instead of being resolved through direct communication.

Pick Up the Phone: For complex or sensitive discussions, a phone conversation allows for tone to be heard, reducing the chances of misinterpretation.

"Wrong Name" Usage: Using the wrong name, or no name, especially when it was in the previous email, is often a deliberate sign of disrespect.

Just the argumentative tone.

Going back through the inbox to quote earlier emails.

Lack of emotion in emails makes you come across as bitchy. Superior. Can do no wrong. It's not me it's you.

You chose to abandon the e thread as you called it. It was too redacted. It was not clear. It was out of order. 

Just deal with it. You're a smart person so show it.

Figure it out. Sometimes truth hurts but it's still truth.

Pull up your big girl bloomers and move on.

We'll all be better for it.
