In-house criticism

Or if it's sent from an in-house IP address. You know how to check that, right?

If he's e-mailing you from his phony gmail account from his work station, you've got a good case.

 

If you merely replied with, "Thanks for the feedback. See you Monday morning," he'd probably crap his pants.

 

Even more so if you added -- in the publisher's office.
Nice call.

 

This guy crossed the line when he started sending the emails to your superiors. That's why you don't have to ignore it and should not ignore it.

 

I figured this thing had run its course, so I was going to let it fall off the page and be done. But since it's back...

I didn't respond in any way. It was brought up in our staff meeting on Weds., and I was told to forward any further e-mails onto the EE and publisher. Apparently this isn't a one-time (or single recipient) event.

So I have my marching orders.

 

You will, of course, keep us posted...
